Did anybody see these four couples and their gorgeous love stories on The Oprah Winfrey Show?
The first couple highlighted was once featured on the show eleven years earlier. Then Oprah brought them out for the second time as viewers yearned for the follow up. The couple first met in their childhood during the Great War, and then met up again on a blind date after they grew up. When this show was aired, the couple was about to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. Fifty!
The second couple was an eminent one in America, basketball player Grant Hill and singer Tamia. They walked the talk of their own wedding vows—which they’d be there for each other, through good times and bad. Tamia was there when her husband was nearly died, and Grant was there when his wife was diagnosed Multiple Sclerosis and got her to fight it together.
The third couple (Alton and Patricia) showed people how painless it was to keep love alight—sending each other love letters, every single day. They weren’t young anymore, but even young couples cannot beat their ‘young’ love, I believe.
And the fourth couple (Dr. Moti Peleg and Ronit) was only married for three years, but the husband once waited for his wife for about forty years, since the first time he saw her picture as Miss Israel 1964.
Are they inspirational enough for you, dear readers? I hope you are more than inspired. You know, the media has this big talk that marriage is dead, as wedding and divorce now go alongside. But I, personally, still have faith that this world isn’t that hopeless. Good people with good hearts and good couples with good loves still inhabit this gorgeous Mother Earth. Hope we’re all one of them.
