Been married for 37 years. Some years were good, some weren't.. We've been been committed to improving our marriage each year, staying loyal to each other. keeping each other as our best friend. We don't keep important things secret from each other. We're honest with each other. Some years we had communication problems and couldn't talk freely - so we wrote notes and letters until we could communicate again freely. We've found the longer we've been married the better it gets. It is definitely worth all the struggle that we went through during the early harder years. I thought that when things were at their best when we were young, when the sex was wonderful, the romance was marvelous, the love was like perfume in the spring air, that it couldn't get any better. No! That was kid stuff compared to life together in our 70's. No sex due to health reasons, romance is best expressed with a special look across the room - but I can't even imagine life without him by my side.
