Kalu said he observed that the man was carrying the woman’s bag while they flowed together. He also observed that the man was confirming with his wife the choice of products he picked before making payments.
And when they finally bought a pillow, Kalu said the woman complained like a baby that she couldn’t carry it like that in public and her man offered to do it.
The couple still had a youthful spark in their marriage
Kalu said he was so impressed with their conduct that he stole pictures of them. He described the couple as people worthy of emulation and wondered how they still had the spark despite their advanced ages.
He urged people to emulate the couple instead of ‘some lustful social media couple’ who get married and divorce in two weeks.
“These are the people we should be emulating, some of our parents have been holding down their marriages beautifully and well while raising us.
“But one yeye social media lustful couple will get married and divorce in two weeks and suddenly you are shouting marriage na scam! Marriage na scam!”
When contacted, Kalu told calabargistblog.com.ng that seeing the couple was a relief at a time when failed marriages were the order of the day.
“Oh!
“Well honestly, it was beautiful to see.
“It was a relief to be honest, in a time where failed marriages are now the order of the day.
“Seeing something like that gave me a relief, it have me hope that there are still good unions out there and there is definitely hope for the next generation.”
