    The main problem is that making a happy marriage stay happy takes a lot of daily work. Thankfully my parents showed me how to do that, and more importantly my dad showed me how to make it fun.

      A lot of couples stop dating after they get married, it seems they just want to go through a checklist

      Your dad sounds wise. Knowledge like that still isn’t widespread, and back then even less so. There are no role models teaching/showing/demonstrating this in real life or in media that I have come across.
