During a trip to Vietnam, when asked about the secret to maintaining happiness after more than 3 decades of living together, David did not hesitate to share that the couple always tries to spend time together, no matter how busy life is.
According to him, couples should not let work or family responsibilities take them away. Instead, date regularly, travel together, chat and listen to each other so that the relationship always has new experiences.
If possible, travel together. Spend time just for two people, listen to each other and communicate more. That helps love always be refreshed," David said.
When asked who would take the initiative to make peace first if a conflict occurred, David humorously replied: "I will be the one to apologize". The answer made Sherry laugh and tease her husband that she rarely heard that sentence.
What both agree on is that trust always plays the most important role in a relationship. Mr. David believes that open communication and honesty are the foundation for building trust. When two people are willing to share everything with each other, misunderstandings will be resolved before becoming distance.
Sherry also agreed and said that lies are the cause of many broken relationships. "I think trust and honesty are the most important things. When a lie is discovered, that's when trouble begins. If you were honest with the person you love from the beginning, you would not have to face unnecessary hurt," she shared.
Besides, Mr. David advised young people in love that no relationship is always perfect. The important thing is that when encountering difficulties, both choose to stay, listen together and find ways to overcome them.
After 36 years of companionship, what helps David and Sherry still hold hands and travel around the world is not complex secrets, but simply always maintaining faith, sincerity and constantly spending time with their loved one. For them, that is the most solid foundation of a happy marriage.
