1959 Small Town, very small-town Husker meets small town, very small-town New Yorker.

They marry over her family’s objection and enjoy a successful 60 years of marriage.

Early development in the 40’s when friends were neighbors and more importantly neighbors were friends. Three, four or five blocks to school and church, front doors left unlocked. Class mates together in every school and town activity. A “wonderful life” describes it.

Gain maturity in the, more or less, tranquil 50” s. This similarity of development made for harmony in our relationship. compatible in almost all aspects of life – religion, politics, family obligations and family finances. Most, maybe every frustration or disagreement failed to survive a night’s sleep and return to normalcy at breakfast.

Enjoying as good health as mid 80’s allows, we’ll cap it off tonight at LG’s, if any have spent time in the Coachella Valley it will be recognized as one of the better steak houses.

Appreciate the opportunity to recount these thoughts, I needed that.

Congratulations, and thank you for your example! Ironically, my better half and i are celebrating #20 today. Looking forward to 40 more and making it the Big Leagues, like you have (heck, maybe i should say the marital Hall of Fame)!

Congrats on a great milestone! And the fact you are active on a Husker message board in your mid 80s makes me smile. You have perspective 90% of the posters don't. Well done, sir.

Happy 60th and many more! Thanks for sharing what you wrote.

We've taken some winter trips to Palm Desert and visited Joshua Tree and the Coachella Preserve. Haven't been to LG's. We like Mama Gina's on Elpaseo and stop by Shield's.

Congrats! We're coming up on 31, but you make me feel like a marriage novice. Somewhere between 25 and 30 years of marriage our infrequent angry disagreements became virtually nonexistent. I guess we figured anger was pointless because the next day we would be right back in the same place and splitting up is unthinkable, so we need to compromise or one of us has to give in. Life is good.

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed reading that. I think it is good for us to write our thoughts out and also nice for our loved ones to read after we are gone.

Wow! That is an amazing feat! That makes me smile that there are people out there that just make it work and you two are an inspiration!

I got married in 2005 and was all set to be married for the rest of my life. I was honest, loyal and truly cared about her. I never once thought about cheating on her. Went to marriage counceling on multiple occasions. Wanted more than anything for it to work out. Even though I was not the happiest, I felt like I wanted to fight for it.

One day last year she told me she didn't love me anymore and that was that. Sadly (and thankful) I am the happiest I have been in a long long time, but I am also in a new relationship where I don't feel like I am walking on Egg Shells (fingers crossed)

I may not be able to sniff 60 years of marriage, but knowing there are folks like you two out there gives me hope! Thanks for sharing!

Here's to hoping for many more for you two cheers!
