Worth it.

Celebrating our fortieth wedding anniversary. Here’s what got us through:

Waiting to see if we could calm down after arguing. We always did and suddenly that issue wasn’t so important.

Letting each other have a life of interests and friends outside of the marriage.

Really remembering to cherish shared interests.

Being respectful of the other’s family

Being patient when the other is ill

Holding each other tight all through the night.
