For this assignment I decided to talk to my uncle and his wife because they have been married for 25 years but technically have been together for 30 years. It was really complicated to get them to talk to me about their lives together and the problems that they have encountered together specially because i told them i would be writing about them but once i got them to talk i could not get them to stop.
The way i talked to uncle and aunt was simply i asked them some questions and then they would both reply what i though was really funny but also really cute was that they would both always answer my questions with the same answer like if they were one person.
1st Question. What has made your marriage last so long.
They both answered me by saying that the love they have for each other the trust and the commitment that they have for one another is the reason why they have made things work for such a long time.
2nd Question. What advice would you give someone to help their marriage work like yours.
This question was really funny because they both answered at the same exact time saying COMMUNICATION is the key to any relationship that is going to work.
3rd Question. What has been the hardest thing you guys have encountered together.
They both told me that the hardest thing was that early in their marriage things were not working out and they were going to get a divorce. so one day they sat down and they talked and they both came to the conclusion that they both didn't believe in divorce. They said that if they made things work once that they could make them work again and also they told me if we loved each other once we could defiantly love each other again.
4th Question. Any new challenges
and they both said NO AT THIS POINT WE KNOW WE ARE MAKING IT TO THE END TOGETHER.
After talking to my uncle and aunt i came to the conclusion that i am finally A LOVE EXPERT
I had the same issue with my parents, they kind of shrugged it off about wanting to be interviewed and then they wouldnt shut up!
ReplyDeleteLol i wouldnt go as far as saying you are a love expert.. But i do agree with the advice they gave you.... learn to communicate... :)
