That day, my wife Xiaoyu and I spent a quiet and warm night at home. We sat on the couch, the moonlight outside the window shining on the floor, reflecting a faint light and shadow.
"Honey, what do you think is the bottom line between husband and wife?" Xiaoyu suddenly asked.
I smiled, thought for a moment, and then said, "I think the bottom line between husband and wife is to keep a certain distance from the opposite sex and respect each other's feelings and boundaries. "
Xiaoyu nodded, pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, this can avoid a lot of unnecessary misunderstandings and contradictions. "
I took Xiaoyu's shoulders and said with a smile, "Moreover, the trust and understanding between us is also deeper. "
Suddenly, the phone rang, and Xiaoyu answered the phone. I noticed a subtle change in her expression, and she seemed a little uncomfortable.
"Oh, it's colleague Zhang, he said there is a work problem that needs to be discussed. Xiaoyu explained after hanging up the phone.
I was secretly alert in my heart, but I didn't show it, just smiled faintly: "Oh, it's okay, things at work have to be taken care of, we all have to support each other." "
Xiaoyu glanced at me, and seemed to be a little speechless. After a while, she suddenly said, "You said, keeping a distance from the opposite sex, does it also include the contacts in the mobile phone?"
I was slightly stunned, I didn't expect her to ask this question. I thought about it for a moment, and then replied frankly: "Yes, I think in marriage, we should be transparent and honest, and if there is a contact of the opposite sex, it is better to know each other." This avoids some unnecessary suspicions and misunderstandings. "
Xiaoyu nodded, her expression gradually softening. "You're right, transparency and honesty are the most important things between couples," she said. I also have the contact details of some male colleagues, I'll tell you about next time. "
I patted her hand lightly and said with a smile, "Well, mutual trust is the most precious treasure between us." "
In the days that followed, we deepened our understanding of each other on the basis of transparency and honesty. We have learned to keep a certain distance in our marriage and not let our feelings be affected by external factors. Whenever there is a small conflict, we can solve it through open communication, so that the relationship between husband and wife is stronger.
One evening, we sat on the couch again, watching TV. I couldn't help but joke: "Honey, you see, we keep a certain distance, and I feel that our bottom line is still quite high." "
Xiaoyu smiled, bit her lip, and then gently nudged me: "Your joke is quite level, but the real bottom line is the love and trust between us, isn't it?"
I looked into her bright eyes, and with a warm emotion in my heart, I nodded: "Yes, dear, yes." On this quiet night, our laughter became a part of each other's lives based on mutual understanding and respect.
