My parents are my ideal married couple. My mother is always cheerful, social butterfly, always gets her house chores done, and she has a strong power and love to bring the family together. My father is a man who is speachless, but always has something important to say when it's the time to say. He is workaholic whose priorities in life are work first! and family comes second. But he is a family man. From the daughters' point of view, they have a totally opposite personalities. I think they have a great relationships but they also have alots of fights. Their daughters wonder,"How can they last so long?!" It seems like from the outside, my mother is the boss of the family but really the truth is...my father is the real boss of the family,especially from the family's point of view. In general opinion, they say that "girls marry a man who is very similar to her father." Well, that rule applied to us, also. I'm very similar to my mother and hiroro is very similar to my father. When hiroro came over to my house to ask my parents if he can take my hand into marriage, my father drinking sake said to hiroro, "hiroro, Are you sure?? Take a good look at her mother and grandmother in front of you.You will have to go through the same thing that I had been through since my daughter has the same personality as them.If you want to back out, then this is your chance. What are you going to do?". hiroro replied, "I think I'm O.K., father " Before I got married I asked my mother for a secret advise on a long and lasting married relationships. She told me,"Talk over and over, admit each other's good and bad charcteristics and then try to talk everything out for a good solution." After starting our marriage life, we often have fights alot. Sometimes we feel, "It's over!" but we are still lasting and maybe it's because we listened to my mother's secret advise. I don't know if we can be like them, but they are my ideal married couple and someday we hope that we can be a bit close to them.
