Despite an 11-year age gap, the two still overcame barriers in age, social prejudices and economic difficulties to build a happy home.
Leading the program, MC Dinh Toan opened with charming questions about choosing a partner, while psychologist Nguyen Huu Long emphasized that marriage is a companionship that requires understanding and consensus from both sides.
The story of Van Bao and Ngoc Bich started quite by chance, when Ms. Bich came to his phone repair shop. Her initial impression was the maturity and maturity of a man who had been older than her for more than a decade, which made her somewhat hesitant. Mr. Bao was attracted to the innocence and sincerity of the young girl. After chats, they gradually developed feelings and decided to stick together despite many differences in age, origin and living circumstances.
Ms. Ngoc Bich shared that their love was once under a lot of pressure from the following rumors: "Some people even suspect that he has a wife in the countryside".
However, both were still steadfast in their choices. When entering marriage, differences in views and lifestyles inevitably collide. Mr. Bao is always the one who takes the initiative to give in: "Every time I argue, I always find myself at fault and beg my wife first, because I love my wife".
Dr. Nguyen Huu Long commented that age-restricted marriage is not a barrier if both sides know how to listen, respect and learn from each other. The maturity of the elderly combined with youthful energy helps the relationship become more balanced. Ms. Ngoc Bich said that since becoming a mother, she has learned to be more patient and mature in behavior, while Mr. Bao increasingly appreciates his family.
At first, their lives were not easy. Quitting their phone repair job, they started an online fashion business. Mr. Bao took on the role of communication and finding sources of goods, while Ms. Bich was in charge of sales and promotion via social networks. Both of them try every day to build their careers and take care of their children. "From two empty hands, I just hope to bring a more fulfilling life to my family," Mr. Bao shared.
Thanks to their consensus and sharing, Van Bao - Ngoc Bich have "overcome" not only economic difficulties but also invisible pressures in marriage. Their story is proof that sincere love with faith and responsibility are the keys to a lasting marriage.
