A real love story. Actually, these long marriages were not that unusual here until recently. I think its sad that they are becoming so rare nowadays

I think they are rare because of how drastically times have changed.

72 years ago hubby and wife had an argument and they talked about it.

Today, hubby and wife have an argument and she calls Missy Sue and he goes to the bar or the garage. Lack of communication.

A relationship shouldn't be judged by the good times...it should be judged how you handle it when things go wrong...wine

thumbs up So sad, in sickness and in health, for better or for worse, for richer for poorer, people say these words so easily, and yet, when they feel the first bump in the road, they run away

I agree, communication and how you handle the bad times, and everyone has bad times, is what matters

OMG.....so sad to lose his wife and especially their child. We are supposed to die before our children do. I think that's wonderful that he has found happiness in the senior years of his life. It may not be like the love he had the first time around but it's a good second best...bouquet

I had an aunt and uncle that were similar, but they weren't married that long. My uncle never went back to his house after my aunt died.
It was too painful for him. (We all cope w/loss in different ways.)
