: Sample Answer

My parents are the happily married couple and in my opinion, they have the strongest bond I have ever seen. They are the iconic figure to me. People also admire them for their togetherness. They love to spend time together and never have quarrelled severely in their life so far. They are the evergreen couple to everyone around us. This cue card topic is nice and I love to answer it in brief

I know them from my birth. They are my mom and dad. I love them too much. They have cared for me and did a lot of things for me so far. But it took me a long time to know about them. After getting matured enough, I realized that they are the happy couple. They have been married for over 30 years and they have three children. I am the youngest one and the others are also established in their respective sectors. All of us respect them for their mutual understanding

They spend most of the time together. My father works for the government and my mother is a homemaker. Earlier, my mother used to be a school teacher before marriage and she gave up the profession and started her homemaking. When my father returns home after office, he spends most of the remaining time with my mom. Sometimes, they go out for shopping, cinema, and other recreational activities together

They are the happily married couple for some few reasons. The most important thing is that they have a mutual understanding. Before taking any decisions, they plan together and implement the plan smoothly. Moreover, they are peace loving people. And they have passed rainy days together but never got split in critical situations. Even sometimes, they wait for one another during regular meals. So, I think they are a perfectly happy couple in their life and I think marriage as a divine bonding as I have seen them live in harmony and joy together
