Hi Sophea,
Good Job ! I enjoyed enough reading your latest article to read it again ! It was so helpful .I think people who took part in your workshop were brave people . For most people it 's so difficult to speak about such controversial issues , don't you think so ? Any way the results of them are surely good enough .
Waiting for your next entry . don't be late girl !
hugs and kisses to you and your todler

Hi Sophea,

Thanks for your interesting story, I am very curious about your workshop, how about the result afterward? Did you follow up the advantage of your workshop?... I hope you will update us sometimes about postive results of your work. I have been in Cambodia twice and I have very good feeling about Cambodian. Unfortunately, I know very little about Cambodian cultures. However, from your story, I can imagine that the behaviour between husbands and wifes in these rural villages has been persisted in generation to generation and you cannot change it in few days, and I hope more or less the participants will gradually improve their attitudes to their partners. To talk about couples from different cultures, I think it is another big issue and we cannot describe it in few lines. Communication is of course very important among them, but languages and other cultural differences are also a big deal in their lives. Thank you once again and look forward to your next entry.

Hi Sophea! I'am just reading your last entry ,and i find your study about relationshep between couples by asking them their opinions is very interesting especially when it base on rural areas where the culture and customes have a major affect on people.
But; i think that the modern style of life starts changing every thing in our life , and creeting a real marriage between cultures and civilizations via diffrent sort of media.
Then,people must give their life a sense of humor and emotion instead of spending all their time runing bihind money or fighting life's probleme.

You did good job. I am new in bbc and i am going to write my blog soon.

I am getting strung up while commenting on your blog as it will be my first footnote.I esteem the way you are raising the essential subject of debate.
I would like to express my view and i also support to nonverbal communication among couples.Instead of being body conscious we need to be sole conscious.Vibrations coming out from a pure and strong sole will commence nonverbal interaction.
Meditation is profitable!!

Dear Sophea,

I´m very impressed by the work in your workshop! And I realized by reading your words, that the communication problems between men and women in a relationship are the same all over the world. I live in Germany and fortunately earn my own money, so I can say, I´m an independent woman. That means, we don`t have to think and argue a lot about finances and other things. But it does`t make it much easier to have a really happy relationship. And I think a lot of men aren`used to speak about their problems and feelings, but for women this is an absolutely important thing!
You are doing a good job!!

Hi everyone.
Your post was very interesting because I have perceived the same problem here in my country on rural and poor towns. I have some relatives on those place and my parents had grown in a situation like you describe. It has been always difficult for them to express their feelings, to us and even between them. My brothers and me don't have the same problem I think its because the environment we have grown up. (we live since we were children on a urban city with access to electricity, TV, movies, books) that showed us how other people behave, how it's ok showing your feelings, crying, huggin, kissing even if our parents weren't so sweet with us.

The job your doing is very important. Communication between a couple is basic in a family. Good luck.

Hello Sophea,
the countries are so different and yet so similar! The Czech republic is not poor country (although a lot of inhabitants think so) but the problems with communication are almost the same. Yes, women sometimes speak too much and men too little. And it very often leads to divorce, unfortunately. We should improve our gender-understanding worldwide.
Have a nice day,

Hi all,

I am enjoying reading your blogs and dialogues about communication in couples. I am fron India where people perform arrange marriages and communication is a very big problem here. I am not yet married but i saw my parents they are not so good in communication with each other but they manage because in India divorce is not a point.

I musy say communication is not only important for couples but for other relations like friendship etc. Because today we all are so busy in earning money that we forgot about communication.

India is a cultural country and people never express their feeling about each other in public.

thank you .this is afantastic story about the relationship between couples.so we should make strong relation tobe happy in our life........

Hi Sophea:
I appreciate your time spending for the blog and, especially your work that is contributing to the social development of Cambodian rural. Busy people like you do value some little free time with family and the Pchum Ben (the Festival of the Ancestors) did give you a meaningful break.
Anyway, I was really intrigued by your judgement from your personal and
professional experience attributing the issue of the relationship between Cambodian rural couples to the economic perspective (your post on 1 Oct.) Due to poverty, couples did not have time to talk sweetly with each other. But some of your descriptions in your post on 10 Oct. are, to me, very much related to culture; it has been the ways Cambodians/Khmers behave towards their spouses. Did you try to look at the issue from the cultural perspective? I could have been very interesting! I hope you can tell the world more about your findings related to cultural factors that influence husband-wife relationship...V.K

Hi Sophea,
Thanks for the article, it was very interesting cause talking about feelings is not easy at all specially front of strangers.I really enjoy your entry and hope to read ur next as soon as possible.

Thanks Sophea for the post “Relationships, Communication and Rural Combodia”. Your first blog has inspired me to read more and I read the third one. That one has pushed me back to read the second one I mean this one.

Definitely all of your posts have power to read the whole story and get the information as well the writing style.

When I have started reading about the people of rural area of Combodia, suddenly I have started thinking that I am reading about my countries rural area as both are almost same. Here houses and basic look of the family are almost same. Men are busy with the farming work while women are keeping themselves busy with household works and take caring of their children. Their demand is also not too high, just as much as need to survive.

Communication between husbands and wives are also limited with their basic needs like foods finance. Nonverbal communication can hardly see specially in public place. They have fear if someone hear that they are talking about feelings. It isn’t possible for them to visit doctor when they are sick rather than just depending on general treatment or the grace of religious person.

However, the situation has been changing. Now they use cell phone, watch T.V. Sending their children to school, even abroad for higher study. Using scientific method in agriculture sector and earning much more than they have earned. Gap between urban and rural are decreasing day by day. Govt. is also try to decentralize everything though it slow. Worker are working abroad and earning foreign currency.

Lastly I want to say now-a-days people are aware about their right and they can sacrifice for that.

Looking forward to your next post…
