Darby and Joan : ウィキペディア英語版 | Darby and Joan
Darby and Joan is a proverbial phrase for a married couple content to share a quiet life of mutual devotion. ==Usage== ''The Nuttall Encyclopædia'' defined the phrase as "a married couple celebrated for their mutual attachment",〔s:The Nuttall Encyclopædia/D〕 the ''Random House Dictionary'' as "a happily married couple who lead a placid, uneventful life." The ''Reader's Encyclopedia'' mentions the "loving, old-fashioned and virtuous" qualities of Darby and Joan. In England, clubs for senior citizens are often called ''Darby and Joan Clubs'', a usage thought to originate from a club in Streatham founded in 1942.〔http://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=82851〕
