Summary

This quote reflects how having parents who had a successful and fulfilling marriage can impact an individual in their own relationships. The speaker highlights that witnessing their parents' strong bond created high expectations and standards for future relationships.

The quote suggests that having a positive example of a healthy relationship can both inspire and raise the bar for one's own romantic experiences.
