When it comes to a family that I like, the firstcouple that pops into my head is my neighbors, who have been married for over 50 years.
    The husband is a retired public servant. He’s the most knowledgeable man I’ve everknown. When I was little, kids in the neighborhood would gather around, and listen to his vividstories about heroes in Chinese history. And his wife, she’s like my role model. She haseverything it takes to become a perfect wife. For starters, she’s a fantastic cook. She babysatme once, and I can still recall the flavor of the twice-cooked pork she made me!
    They say they didn’t really know each other when they first got married. Back then, theydidn’t have the freedom to choose their spouse, and they just tied the knot right after theblind date arranged by their parents. People say love will come in time, and that’s true! Havingbeen together for a long time, they came to have a tender feeling for each other. It turned outthat they have the same interests like reading and playing Chinese chess. After dinner, I alwayssee them taking a walk in the park nearby, holding hands. We’ve been neighbors for more than15 years, and I never saw them fight or argue over anything. They have been supporting eachother through hard times and happy moments. I was told they never exchanged vows at thewedding ceremony, however, years of companionship is better than any flowery speech.
    I learned from their picture-perfect marriage that mutual respect is the very foundation ofan everlasting relationship. I believe that’s the secret of their happy marriage.
