郭晓冬和程莉莎这对夫妇的婚姻，因为各档婚恋或夫妻观察类综艺的出炉，而反复被网友们拿出来讨论。
网友总说他们是“孔雀女”对“凤凰男”，从家境上来看，他们似乎并不“般配”，甚至差距悬殊。
近年来，郭晓冬凭借自己不俗的演技，事业蒸蒸日上，但在生活中却总是被吐槽“大男子主义”；而程莉莎则是放下事业，全心全意追随丈夫......她甚至为了拼二胎，打过100多针，以致心情极度抑郁，引起了不小的争议。
但就算面临这些数不清的争议，用程莉莎自己的话来说，她还是很满足自己作为“郭晓东太太”的身份。
为此，她还说：“我不谈女权，也不做女奴，但在我和郭晓东的爱情里，我是那个愿意在家等他，愿意为他多生一个孩子打100针的女人。”
你怎么看待这种婚姻关系呢？下面我们就一起跟着Summer 老师和外教Max老师，来聊聊这对夫妻，并学习有关的英语表达吧⬇️
