Yes. My parents were married 42 years until my father passed away. His parents are still married. Enjoying retirement and driving each other crazy from time to time.
I sure didn't, my parents break up and make up more often than any couple I know, and my husband's parents were an arranged marriage; And yet he had better role models than me!
No.
Him? Absolutely. I really admire his parents' relationship. Me not so much. I have gleaned a lot of "what not to do" from my parents.
No I don't think so. Both from divorced households.
Ha! Not at all. The only memories I have of my parents before they split was of them fighting. Ok. I guess he did. While he didn't get it from his parents I think he saw how his grandparents were with each other and that was good for him. He also knows a lot of "What not to do" and I think in a way he tries even harder to be a good man to prove he's not like his dad.
No
not me at all.. his parents something yes very much
I sort of did but he absolutely did not going by his parents, his Nanna and Grandy were good though:)
No.
he did I did not
Not really, but we model our relationships on mutual respect and honesty.
I didnt have the best relational role models but my dad would always talk 2 me about what a relationship should be like. idk about my partner but I don't think he had good relational role models based on how he is in our relationship.
My parents are good examples of how not to react to a problem in your relationship. Arguing non-stop and constantly resenting one another. But at least they stuck through some incredibly difficult moments in our family's history. Their relationship taught me to communicate with my husband, and to stand by his side no matter what.
Nope sir.
