As you may have heard, today is Valentine's Day. (Exclusively reported here first.) Anyway, on this occasion, The Village Voice speaks with Pilar and Walter La Rosa, the owners of Pilar Jewelry Repair at 32 E. Seventh St. between Second Avenue and Cooper Square.The couple, who are originally from Lima, Peru, have been married for five decades. And they've been running this shop for 20 years. Reporter Araceli Cruz talked to Pilar about love and marriage and romance ... "Couples are too independent today. Couples should do everything together. Women go off with their friends too much. Instead they should bring them over, even the singles ones."

Ah! I love those guys! I have bought 2-3 gifts for my mom over the years from them. Great stuff!
The answer to the head: Yes!, they are cutest EV couple.
They sure are cute. And bravo for being married for 50+ years! I hope that my wife and I reach that milestone as well.
Good advice as well. I agree wholeheartedly that couples should spend more time together. Friends are important as well as some alone time. But spending as much time as possible with your partner is the best. My wife is the woman I love, but she is also my best friend. Shared interests help too I suppose.
Happy Valentine's Day, kids!
I don't agree with the husband's line that women go off with their friends too much, but they are very cute, and I love their shop!
The woman said that line. But either way, married people should have friends and lives outside of marriage otherwise you get sick of each other fast.
this couple is adorable & even better - they fix jewelry at a great cost. Please keep them in business!
