Couple At The Gym

It's a Thursday night at the gym. I don't usually go around this time, but I decided to take a try at it and see how I liked it. The gym isn't full of people, but it has a decent amount of people in it. There is an equal amount of males and females. But I did notice less elder people and more younger people.
So as I was working out I noticed a older couple, probably in their 30's or 40's, working out together. I noticed them because the man was wearing a shirt with a specific logo I liked on it. So I decided to compliment him on his shirt and he thanked me. This week I didn't talk to my subjects, I just watched them from a distance to see how they acted. They were constantly encouraging each other to workout and workout hard. The male was more patient with himself than the female was. She was getting frustrated that she was having a hard time doing some of the workouts. But sure enough the male kept encouraging her to keep going the entire time. They were married, because they both had wedding rings on. It was nice to see this encouragement between the couple because it was sweet! Can anyone say relationship goals?
