I realize that young people don't see a lot of long-term marriages these days, so we are pleased to announce our years to young couples who are trying to make it work.
I say marriage is like going into business with someone. One must realize that it's not just the romance. My husband says one must learn to think "we, us & ours" instead of always "me, my & I." it means sharing, compromising and continuing to do interesting things together. You must enjoy each other's company. Laugh it off, sometimes!!
That's right Hilda, Young people should look at it that way. My husband and I have also been married 57 years.He was 20 and I was 15. You have to work at it every day but it's worth it. I wouldn't change a thing.
