You can imagine anything you like. You didn't know them. That's all I needed to know.

Just look at their photo! Isn't it fantastic? They look like they are happy. Wow, maybe they actually liked each other.

“They were very forgiving of each other’s foibles and weaknesses. They were so willing to work at making themselves happy.”

And this is what most people on this forum (and IRL) need to learn.

I can't even imagine living to be 75, but I still was hoping for that kind of love.

Imagine that, taking personal responsibility for your own happiness and being willing to be forgiving of your partner. Yes indeed some people here could really learn from this couple

Just wonder who went first- I assume it was the man- woman always like to give the guy a little push to see if it is raining outside...jokes aside- I remember one beautiful couple I saw on the street- they were in their 80s they walked as an equal pair hand in hand..there was no contention between them...they looked like angels.

I have neighbors like this

They are 90 and 91, still work in their garden every day too.

Been married 65 years! And he still flirts with her! It's so awesome to watch them interact

It's so sweet, make me well up with tears. My grandparents were married over 70 years and they died within months of each other. My grandfather was never the same after my grandmother passed.
