French translation: que le monde (les gens) ferait bien de prendre en exemple

English term or phrase: to mirror
On a letter of reference for a couple who desires to adopt a child: "They are exemplary parents and a loving couple the world would do well to mirror."

I have no idea how to translate the section after "the world..." The meaning is that others would benefit from being the same type of parents these ones are.
