Why does the honeymoon phase fade and why is that a good thing?

Many couples cherish the thrill of the honeymoon phase, even though it’s natural that this intensity often fades. Experts, including EMCC Counsellor Clifton Tokoara, share more about what the honeymoon phase entails and how it’s normal for it to fade as couples grow more familiar with each other. Read on to find out more!

Many couples cherish the thrill of the honeymoon phase, even though it's natural that this intensity often fades. That doesn't mean the spark has died.

So many of us grew up hearing things like:
“Stop overthinking.”
“Others have it way worse.”
“You’re not depressed, just lazy.”

These words weren’t always meant to harm. But they did.

It is important to understand that love without emotional safety still leaves a scar.

Let’s talk about the gap between what’s said and what’s heard and how we can close it with empathy.

We don’t lose friends overnight

We lose them slowly through silence.

This is your reminder that friendship needs tending too. A check-in, a shared laugh, a ‘thinking of you’ because they keep love alive.

PS: Don’t wait for a crisis to reconnect. Tell someone: “I miss you.”

Depression doesn’t always whisper, “I’m sad.”
Sometimes it says, “I’m tired of pretending.”, “I can’t feel joy anymore.”, “I don’t know what’s wrong, but something feels off.”

Those are cries for help, too.

If you see yourself in this, it’s not a weakness. It’s your mind asking for care, not correction.
Depression hides best behind the word “fine.” You don’t have to hide from it.

When anxiety doesn’t look like anxiety, so you spend months asking yourself, “What is wrong with me?"

Here is the reality check.
It’s not always racing heartbeats, sweaty palms, or panic attacks.

For many young adults and adults, anxiety shows up in quieter, stranger ways, like through decision fatigue, jaw tension, random brain fog, or even an urge to uproot your life.

These signs help you notice the subtle ways your mind and body might be asking for care.

Which one resonates most with you?

“Loving our children and knowing them are two different things.”
– Thomas Tsang, EMCC Counsellor

In a feature with Mothership for World Mental Health Day 2025, our counsellor Thomas Tsang opened up about his personal journey through loss, healing, and hope, and how it has inspired him to help others not suffer alone.

His story reminds us that love alone isn’t always enough; it’s through listening, understanding, and showing up that we truly connect. 💛

This World Mental Health Day, let’s take a moment to check in with ourselves and with the people who matter most.

And to Thomas, we so proud of you for bravely sharing your story and for walking with others through their own journeys of pain and recovery. 🌿

Congratulations to Dr Kenny Tan, JP PBM, EMCC Board Chair, on receiving Salt & Light’s (saltandlight.sg) inaugural Inspiration Award 2025.

Celebrated by S&L as heroes of their faith, Kenny—together with Christian stalwarts like Rev Dr Margaret Seaward and Rev Naomi Dowdy—was honoured for God-inspired initiatives and service, labouring in love for Jesus, often behind the scenes, to bring transformation to lives, communities, and even nations.

Kenny has served on the Board of EMCC for over a decade. Beyond the vision he carries for the organisation, he has faithfully sown his time, efforts, and resources into ensuring that EMCC remains a sanctuary of hope for those seeking calm for troubled minds or struggling with broken relationships. We have been blessed by his passion, wisdom, and commitment to hold fast to our vision of Bringing Hope and Restoration to those we serve.

“I have seen God lead through unexpected turns in life. I was trained in obstetrics and gynaecology but then I sensed God’s call to enter Bible school. I have come full circle – from clinical to administrative, from hospital to community, from ‘womb’ to ‘tomb’. It was not a path I had imagined, but it impressed upon me that life and ministry are not separate, but a seamless continuum of service unto Him. Ministry does not end at the church door – the marketplace, too, is a sacred space where God can touch and transform lives. The joy of witnessing lives transformed keeps me going." – Dr Kenny Tan.

In addition to helming EMCC as Chairman of the Board, Kenny is the CEO of St Luke's ElderCare(SLEC), the vocational Senior Pastor of Zion Gospel Mission Church, and an Adjunct Associate Professor at the Singapore Institute of Technology.

He wears many hats, but the one we at EMCC are most grateful for is his talent as an inspiring poet. Whenever he connects with God, he pens his reflections through poetry. Kenny’s years of literary work have culminated in five publications, most of which he has generously donated to charities like EMCC for fundraising.

We are especially honoured to have received his latest collection, Life Songs, which was inspired by the Psalms and published by EMCC as part of our ongoing fundraising initiative. Proceeds from this collection go directly towards our Hope is at Hand Subsidy Fund, which provides subsidised counselling support for those in need—because accessibility to mental health support is key.

👉 Support our cause through Life Songs here: https://emcc.org.sg/support-us/lifesongs/

Thanks to the Enhanced Fund-Raising (EFR) Programme, every dollar you give now will be matched, doubling your impact.

Once again, congratulations to our EMCC Chairman, Dr Kenny Tan, on this well-deserved accolade. May you continue to serve the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and spirit!
