Do you know a couple who signifies the real meaning of marriage and why?

I think most people have that one or two couples in their mind that set the example for us growing up of what a strong couple looks like.
For me it was my parents and my best friends parents. It was funny to look at them. They weren’t the Ozzie and Harriet couple of tv. My mom and dad were opposites. My dad was passive but firm and my mother, well there is no real description. LOL She would take a half of novel to describe. Any how, some how they just meshed well. He knew how to calm her down and he could make her laugh and be angry at the same time. And she was his strength when he needed her.
With my friends parents, they hardly spoke and yet they seem to always know what the other one was thinking. He was the strong serious silent type, she was the emotional yet very loving and generous person.
You wouldn’t ever dream of these couples being together but they were magic between them.
My parents would’ve still been together had he not passed away, and my friends parents are still happily married.
Both argued but they seemed to never be able to stay angry. You could see the sheer misery on their faces when their partners were angry with them.
So who was your couple? Do you think they effected how you view marriage?
