Couples

Couples relationships affects individuals and even the whole family. Our professional team provides information and practical tips on our services to prevent problems appearing among couples and enhance their relationships. When their relationships are on the rocks, we provide advice on solutions for their problems to ensure couples can learn and grow together.

Marital Relationship

We have married for more than 30 years and yet I don’t know how to break the ice with her?


A couple must maintain communication no matter how long you have been married. To understand and respond each other’s concern can help improve the relationship. Since you are in a mature age, you may have encountered a lot of changes and challenges such as deteriorating physical condition, changing in work and family role, life planning in twilight years, etc. All these issues need concern, care and support from your spouse. Therefore, we encourage you to share your feeling and concern to your wife.

If you would like to get more intimate with your wife, perhaps you may take a break with her for activities or voluntary services in district elderly community centres and neighbourhood elderly centres. If you have enquiries and need help, you can ask the social worker there for help.
