Do you want to say that you are quite happy with your marriage life? If so,

I would be furious if my parents tried to set me up, particularly if it is a complete surprise like this will be for みうちゃん。
みうちゃん is engaged! Her father especially is way out of line だと思う。。。

Hello.
Naomi-先生 was talking about the difference in pronunciation for ‘ima (now) and i’ma (living room).
I would just like to remember the difference in pronunciation in those other two pairs of words:
1) ‘kaeru and ka’eru
I guess the first is to change, to return and the latter is frog. Am I right?
I remember 夏子さん talking about it (and her abomination for frogs), but I am not quite sure about the pitch accent.
2) ’satou and sa’tou
I believe the first one is sugar and the second one is a male name, right?
Now, I know I said “2 other pairs”, but while writing I remembered two other ones:
3) ’suika and su’ika
The first is the train ticket and the latter watermelon???
4) 買う (かう - to buy) and 飼う (かう - to raise “an animal”)… any difference??
Thank you very much for helping out!!!
My really best wishes!!!
