About M&J
The beginning of MJ
Despite both grew up in Tuen Mun and studied in the same university in Australia, Michele and John didn't meet each other until 2013 Christmas. Amidst the dazzling city landscape and jazz musc of late night Central, they were introduced in a reunion drink on a rooftop bar at IFC, Leaving good impression that night, the careful couple exchanged more conversations, going church , hike, shows together, validated by friends, family & pet before they started their first date 4 months later.
The real beginning with God
Honeymoon did not happen straight away. With both being artistic (moody), strong-principle (stubborn), beloved (spoiled) and very devoted to work+family+love at the same time (simply impossible), they were surprised by how much distrust, jealousy, temper and expectation-fall-short of each other during the few months together. Soon they became exhausted & doubtful.
It was God, who humbled the 2 hearts, and through many angels taught them 2 things:
1. Olive - must be beaten and crushed to produce precious olive oil. If one willing to be humble & selfless, prioritize the other person on all matters, one would become the most precious blessing that nourish and grow any relationship.
2. Love Triangle – is placing God in the centre of a family. Each first focus on staying close with God by practising His words of truth, love & gospel, naturally the distance will be reduced between the 2 partners (& family) in a sustainable way.
Michele & John would be not dreaming a happy-ever-after fairytale, but be commited to God with this homework of loving unconditionally and selflessly, pursuit and practise the "Love Triangle", so that Love, Peace and Salvation would fill and flow among the family, dear relatives & good friends.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8
"Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails."
歌 林 多 前 書 13:4-8
愛 是 恆 久 忍 耐 , 又 有 恩 慈 ; 愛 是 不 嫉 妒 ; 愛 是 不 自 誇 , 不 張 狂 ,
不 做 害 羞 的 事 , 不 求 自 己 的 益 處 , 不 輕 易 發 怒 , 不 計 算 人 的 惡 ,
不 喜 歡 不 義 , 只 喜 歡 真 理 ;
凡 事 包 容 , 凡 事 相 信 , 凡 事 盼 望 , 凡 事 忍 耐 。
愛 是 永 不 止 息 。
