The Marriage Experts in this life time

When I talked to a marriage expert that was married for 66 years! When I ask them what a marriage challenges where for them and there answer was the in law family issues. They resolved this by dealing with the family as best as they could but at the same time they moved across the United States to make there own family. They both said that they ignored the family drama as much as passable. When I asked them for advise for a successful healthy marriage they said it takes two to love each other and be there for one another. Its hard to find that kind of love these days. I think it has to do with the society we live in today and how we treat one another.

  1. I bet any marriage couple have in-law issues, I know a few families who do! Its hard to make a family of your own when there are interferences but you just have to work towards it.

  3. WoW, 66 years! That is just unheard of these days --- sad. There's just so many pressures in LiFE that if you don't have a strong foundation & commitment to your marriage it's easier to just bail out sometimes. And that's just the thing - marriage has become disposable. People think that they're going to find a better partner outside of their marriage & that's not always the case - like they say, "the grass isn't always greener on the other side." When people divorce without truly looking inward I think they just end up taking all their baggage/issues into the next realtionship & go on to repeat the same disfunction from their prior relationship.... 66 years - they deserve a medal & a free vacation, haha! ;)

  4. That's amazing that they have lasted that long! I agree, our society standards today is a toxic place where love and marriage rarely blossoms into anything as beautiful as it was in the past 60 to 80 years.
