celebrating 60 years of marriage today!
My grandparents are amazing. My nana and papa (pictured above on their wedding day in 1954) have been married 60 years today. These past 60 years have been filled with life's share of love, children, tragedy, hard times, great times, celebrations, grandchildren, and most importantly - each other.
In a society where it's common, and almost easy to divorce, I marvel at how refreshing it is to see a couple live together through 60 years of life. In some ways it restores my faith in humanity. Not only my faith in humanity, but my faith in love. My nana and papa have proven that it IS possible! That if you work together, even through hardships, the love you have can prevail! I really hope this kind of marriage isn't a thing of the past, I would love to see this exist in my generation, and in my own life.
When I was 7 years old I remember attending my nana and papa's Big 50th Anniversary party and hearing a bit of advice that I took not only for marriage, I was seven after all, but for life in general. My nana said the secret to marriage is to never go to bed angry. I really took that to heart. Life is short and no one should ever go to bed feeling angry towards someone they love. You never know how long you have with a family member, a friend, or a significant other. Don't regret wasting time by going to bed angry. "Even in rough patches never stop saying 'I Love You' before you go to sleep."
I am so inspired by the love my nana and papa have shared over the last 60 years.
