1/ My parents have now known each other for 51 years (40 years of marriage+ 11 years of dating) and they still share the most beautiful camaraderie that I& #39;ve witnessed in a couple.

Evenings they play carrom, cards or chess.
Mornings they wake up early, dad waters the garden,

2/ makes coffee, before lockdown they& #39;d walk 5-6 kms everyday. Now they walk in the terrace.

My father cooks 2-3 days in a week.. Does most of the chores while my mother spends time stitching, solving crosswords and a bit in the kitchen.

But by 6.30 pm everyday, they sit for

3/ playing some game or the other. My mother is very competitive and my father doesn& #39;t give up either.
They keep arguing, but my mother wouldn& #39;t hear a word against my dad.

and they end up giggling like teenagers.
I am so so cynical about relationships and marriage but this

4/ one relationship that I& #39;ve witnessed forever makes me evaluate my disbeliefs in true love. Their friendship, trust and bond is the stuff of books and movies. My father still compliments my mother, tells cute stuff like this chudidhar looks nice on you, this colour looks

5/ lovely on you and he always waits for my mother to compliment about something he cooked and she always says, should one say all of this aloud, ofc it is nice https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="♥️" title="Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Herz">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="♥️" title="Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Herz">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="♥️" title="Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Herz">
