A Young Couple　一对年轻夫妇

Both Jane and Lorry, a young couple, dislike doing housework. Except for this, they have nothing in common.

Jane loves staying at home reading books or watching TV. She is very interested in soap operas and chat shows. She always laughs and cries with the characters in TV programs.

Lorry, on the other hand, is an outgoing person. He is fond of singing and dancing in public. He prefers chatting with friends to watching TV. He often goes home very late in the evening, so they often quarrel with each other.

Do you have any good ideas about how to help them?
