Happy marriages Written by MarianneR (10/16/2008 2:42 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Mrs Croft and Anne., penned by Mandy N

This was my impression as well. I can´t recollect another married couple in Austen´s novels that radiates such harmony. I wonder whether they embody the idea JA had in mind when thinking on married couples and whether she actually knew a couple who served as a model for the Crofts. Does anybody know?
