Does true love really exist?

Growing with a complete family, I have seen how my parents treat each other. After celebrating their 53rd wedding anniversary this year I found it amazing that they reached that year together. I was wondering what is the secret of a strong marriage that made me wish and hope that my marriage will last long same with them. I know their relationship is not perfect well who does have perfect relationship either, but maybe they are strong enough to fullfil what they have promised to each other. I dont remember any single moment I heard them fighting until now, or maybe they are too discret about it .Or maybe my mother was too submissive. I remember once I asked my father why I never seen them fighting like other couple in movies or like some of our neighbor. He simply answer "wala na nga tayong pera mag aaway pa kami" that made me smile🤣. After hearing their conversation yesterday (since they are currently on LDR, my mom just recover from mild stroke and my father need to come back to our province to fixed our house that was hit by the typoon last year which is the cause of my mother's current health condition) they talking as if they are newly weds and making promises to each other. It really made me think what is the real secret of a successful marriage? Does it because of true love? Does it really exist and leads to forever? Or it is a choice of both of you to stay and fight together for all what you have dreamed together from the very start? For a 82 and a 77 year old couple, it seems that true love does exist.... and of course our dear God who created us is a proof that true love do really exist.
