""Some marriages may start off unhappiIy... lt's wrong to assume marriage will bring nothing but happiness" "You cant wait for it to come to you..." "You have to create your own happiness." "Marriage doesn't necessarily bring about happiness." "A couple must learn  how to find happiness in their lives together." "It is only then that they will become a real couple." "My father also told me that mom was very unhappy at first." "It took them a Iong time to understand each other." "He had seen her  hiding herself in the corner of the kitchen, weeping." "Mom was very patient." "They learned to trust each other." "And now they love each other very much." "Father told me to treat Koichi with the same gentleness I treat him." "Then I will find happiness." "He made sure that I understood his words." "Yuriko." "Father-in-Iaw." "I'II wait." "I'II wait for Koichi with you." "From now on... I thank you very much." "My dear..." "She's a real nice daughter-in-Iaw." "Koichi is not worthy of her." "What a wonderful daughter-in-law!" "THE END" "Subtitle transcription, editing and timing:" "EviIdee and CHiU for ADC"
