Jean and I have been MARRIED 48 YEARS TODAY. How do you keep a marriage exciting and fun after so many years? Live like you are starring in a rom-com!
Have you ever heard the song "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" (by Posion)?" Does Jean ever get frustrated with me? No. Maybe, Yes....once or twice a day. When you live with someone almost 24/7 for years, you will experience some frustration. You will have disagreements, and you will say things that you wish immediately you never said. And yet, after 48 years of marriage, Jean is the person I want to be around more, the person I laugh with more, the person I have the most fun with, and the person I miss the most when she is not around.
What does "Live like you are starring in a rom-com" look like? We have both learned to laugh with and at each other. I love to watch her watch movies. She warns the person about bad things that are going to happen. She gets up and walks around when the movie's action gets too much. She starts singing if I say something that reminds her of a song.
Those are the things that make me laugh. But our constant effort to put the other one first and our willingness to forgive quickly have kept our marriage strong over the years.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO THE MOST LOVING AND KIND LADY I KNOW!
