SubscribeNot all couples are growing old happy and inseparable. If there’s one couple that I admire for that, it’s my parents-in-law. For more than nine years that I have known them, they’re always together. Happy together despite all odds. A great example of living by the marriage vow “in sickness and in health, for richer for poorer, till death do us part”. If you just listen to their stories, it’s full of wisdom and in their lives you will learn a lot especially in dealing with married life.
I am so blessed to have married a man who have grown by their teachings and their example. My husband may not be perfect but I can see the values that was instilled in him. Hence I may not need the best eye cream for wrinkles in the near future because my husband is not giving me reason to be unhappy (read: unhappiness=more wrinkles). I can see we will grow old like DadMa, happy together.
Aside from the values that our lifetime partner has, the secret of having a good husband is being a good wife. As the old saying goes, “you reap what you sow”. Hence, a good wife makes a good husband.

I certainly agree, Auntie Carmen and Uncle Tony are the BEST example of growing old happily together. They are so inseparable and they just love being with each other. Their children are so lucky and so are their spouses.
If there is one thing that makes me jealous about my sister is her being so lucky to have one of the best PIL’s.
