Joan H. similarly noted: "My 25th was spent with my husband in a nursing home dining room where the staff had prepared a beautiful meal in a private room. I think my advice for a long lasting marriage is believing and living the part of your vows that say 'in sickness and in health,' because you just are never prepared or know what the future holds.",p. From my mom and dad, who marked their 48th wedding anniversary this spring: "Today, as you reflect on the 25 years of journey through your married life, you can rejoice, be grateful, and take pride in all that you have accomplished and weathered together. Marriage indeed is hard work, but it becomes lighter when lived in love and perseverance, with patience and humility."
Finally, Neil S. joked: "Never be stupid at the same time."
We'll take it all to heart. Stay tuned for another longevity update in 25 years.
Met my husband in High School when we were 17. We got married at 21 and both of us turned 65 this year! 44 years and we disagree on lots, we put God first and we are best friends. Have a lot in common with all those years, music, friends, family, his Mother was my Mom2 for 42 years, my Mom died when I was 46!
