An Apple a day will keep a doctor away. But this is the first time I heard a story of marriage been saved by an apple a day.
This is a true story of a Taiwan couple has been living together for half a century as the husband has been giving his wife an apple a day to keep their marriage sweet.
The couple, Lee Ta-Pin, 77, and Sung Chin-yu, 74, revealed their secret recently on their 50th anniversary.
Their tradition with the apple blossomed after being married for 3 months. Lee, as an army reservist, was summoned to serve in the military for 30 days. He bought a basket full of 30 apples and told her to take an apple a day when she missed him. They got reunited once she finished the last apple.
Since then, he never failed to fulfill the tradition except when the shops were closed during typhoons.
What a unique couple...
