Behind the hustle and bustle of the prosperous city, Mr. Liu's home used to be a warm haven. However, in recent days, it seemed to be shrouded by a layer of icy frost. The boat of his marriage was teetering on the verge of capsizing in the surging undercurrents, almost reaching the brink of collapse.

Mr. Liu and his wife had walked hand in hand through many years. Those youthful years they spent together and the days and nights they toiled for a living were like passing clouds, gradually dissipating amidst the daily trivialities and busyness. Somehow, the communication between them had become increasingly scarce. Every day when they returned home from work, they were faced with either silence as they looked at each other or a few perfunctory greetings. The once affectionate dinner time had become dull. They each stared at their mobile phone screens, lost in their own worlds, letting the food go cold. During the weekend leisure time, there was no longer any enthusiasm to go out together. Instead, they were each occupied with their own affairs, and the home seemed to have become nothing more than a hotel for sleeping.

This long period of coldness was like a slow-acting poison, gradually eroding the foundation of their relationship. Minor frictions accumulated and eventually erupted into intense quarrels. Those hurtful words were like sharp swords stabbing at each other's hearts, causing the once closely-knit hearts to drift apart. Looking at the increasingly cold home, Mr. Liu was filled with helplessness and despair. He realized that if he didn't do something soon, this marriage might truly come to an end.

By chance, while on a business trip, Mr. Liu passed through an ancient town with a long history. The bluestone paths in the town wound and twisted, and ancient and quaint shops lined the streets, exuding a quiet and serene atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of the secular world. Mr. Liu was attracted to an antique shop and strolled in. The shop was filled with all kinds of strange and curious things, from simple and unsophisticated paintings and calligraphy to delicate ornaments, everything was there. In a 不起眼的角落，a string of seven-treasure glazed bracelets that emitted a faint glow caught his eye.

The glazed beads on the bracelet were colorful and translucent, each seeming to contain mysterious power. Under the illumination of light, they refracted dreamlike rays. The shop owner, an elderly man in Tang-style clothing with an elegant temperament, saw that Mr. Liu was interested in the bracelet and walked over slowly, introducing it with a smile, "Sir, you really have a discerning eye. This string of seven-treasure glazed bracelets has extraordinary significance in our long-standing Taoist culture. It symbolizes perfection and harmony, carrying the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. It can dispel the gloom for the wearer and attract auspiciousness. Looking at your worried face, could it be that you've encountered some troubles in life? If you're having marital problems, putting on this bracelet might help you regain the sweetness of the past and bring harmony back to your family."

Mr. Liu gently picked up the bracelet. At that moment, a gentle warmth spread from his fingertips throughout his body, as if an invisible force was soothing his tired and anxious heart. He stared at the bracelet. Although he had some doubts in his heart, at that moment, he was like a traveler who had been lost in the dark for a long time and saw a glimmer of hope. Eager to grasp this straw that might change his fate, he hesitated for a while and finally decided to buy the string of seven-treasure glazed bracelets.

In the first few days after putting on the bracelet, Mr. Liu didn't notice any obvious changes in his marriage. But every night before going to sleep, when he gently stroked the bracelet on his wrist, the warm touch always managed to calm his inner restlessness a little. In this brief moment of tranquility, he began to reflect on his behavior in the marriage. Those moments when he had neglected his wife's feelings because of being busy and those hurtful words he blurted out during quarrels flashed through his mind like a movie. He realized that he was not a perfect husband. In the past, he had been too focused on work and forgotten that marriage also required careful nurturing.

Meanwhile, his wife also seemed to notice the subtle changes in Mr. Liu. One night, when Mr. Liu came home from work, he saw his wife sitting on the sofa, with a glimmer of expectation in her eyes. He summoned up his courage and broke the usual silence, asking softly, "How was your day?" His wife was slightly taken aback, a glimmer of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she started chatting with him about the trifles at work and the interesting things in the neighborhood. This seemingly ordinary conversation was like the first ray of spring sunshine, melting the long-standing ice between them.

From then on, Mr. Liu became more proactive in communicating with his wife. On weekends, he no longer stayed at home alone but suggested going for a walk in the suburbs to enjoy the beauty of nature. Walking along the mountain paths, breathing the fresh air, and listening to the birds singing, they seemed to have regained the feeling of their first love, holding hands and sharing their thoughts and dreams. The estrangement caused by indifference gradually dissipated through these interactions.

With the warming of their relationship, Mr. Liu found that many small things in life had become full of fun. When they were cooking together, his wife accidentally smeared flour on her face, and they both burst out laughing; when watching a movie, they hugged tightly and wept with emotion because of the touching scenes. Those sweet moments that had been forgotten had now returned to their lives.

Seeing that his marriage was gradually getting back on track, Mr. Liu was full of gratitude for this string of seven-treasure glazed bracelets. At the same time, he also developed a strong interest in the Taoist culture behind it. He wondered why this seemingly ordinary bracelet could have such magical power. With this curiosity, Mr. Liu embarked on a journey to explore Taoist wisdom.

He inquired around and heard that there was a secluded Taoist temple on the outskirts of the city. The Taoist priests in the temple had a deep understanding of Taoist doctrines. So, Mr. Liu, with full piety, went to visit the temple.

The temple was hidden among green mountains and clear waters, surrounded by lush trees and swaying bamboo, like a paradise, quiet and serene. Mr. Liu walked along the winding path into the temple. Inside the courtyard, incense smoke curled up, and the sound of bells and chimes filled the air, instantly calming people's hearts. In the temple, he met an elderly Taoist priest with white hair and an otherworldly demeanor. He couldn't wait to tell the priest his experiences one by one, with doubts and a thirst for knowledge in his eyes.

After listening, the priest nodded slightly, with a touch of relief in his eyes, and stroked his beard and said, "Benefactor, it is no coincidence that this seven-treasure glazed bracelet can help you repair your marriage. It actually conforms to the Taoist principles of yin-yang harmony and conforming to the way of nature. In marriage, the husband and wife are like the yin and yang poles. They need to depend on each other and blend with each other to live in harmony. The cold relationship between you and your wife before was due to an imbalance of yin and yang. You were busy with external affairs and neglected your family, and your wife felt resentful, causing the emotional energy field to be in disorder. And the auspicious energy contained in the seven-treasure glazed can dispel the gloom in your hearts, arouse the tenderness and love within you, make you return to peace, and help you regain your mutual understanding, thus guiding the emotional energy field to regain balance. Moreover, Taoism advocates conforming to one's true nature and governing by non-interference. It doesn't mean being idle but requires people to act without being forceful or obsessive, and to treat everything with a normal state of mind. When your marriage was in crisis, you could actively seek change, let go of your past stubbornness, and conform to your inner desire for happiness. Only in this way could the spiritual power of the seven-treasure glazed bracelet play its role smoothly."

After hearing this, Mr. Liu was suddenly enlightened. He recalled those cold and desperate days. Although he had been in great pain, he had never completely given up the hope of saving his marriage. He had always been looking forward to the family returning to warmth in his heart. It turned out that all the changes were not only due to the spiritual comfort brought by this miraculous seven-treaste glazed bracelet, but also the result of his sticking to his original intention, conforming to nature, and actively harmonizing yin and yang.

From then on, Mr. Liu incorporated Taoist ideas into his marital life. Every morning when he got up, he would do simple morning exercises with his wife, feeling each other's company and support, just like what Taoism pursues in achieving unity of body and mind and conforming to the natural rhythm. In daily interactions, he learned to put himself in his wife's shoes, consider things from her perspective, and when there were differences, he no longer argued blindly but valued harmony and mutual tolerance, creating a warm and harmonious family atmosphere. When facing difficulties and setbacks in life, he could also work together with his wife, believing that as long as the couple was united and conformed to the current situation, they could surely tide over the difficulties.

And that string of seven-treasure glazed bracelets still quietly adorned Mr. Liu's wrist. It had witnessed Mr. Liu's journey from the abyss of marital crisis to a return to a happy and sweet life. It carried the integration of ancient Taoist culture and modern marital life, constantly reminding Mr. Liu that no matter how big the waves he encountered in the future, as long as he stuck to his original intention, conformed to nature, was full of love, and drew on the power of ancient culture, he could make the boat of marriage sail steadily in the ocean of life and head for the beautiful shore.

Mr. Liu's story was like a warm beam of sunlight, illuminating the way forward for many people who were wandering and confused on the path of marriage. It made them understand that marriage requires careful management. When a crisis arises, it is advisable to draw wisdom from ancient cultures and use the power of nature to regain love and sweetness and start a new chapter of a happy life.
