That's pretty cool to be married that long. My grandparents were married for 60 years. Guess they don't commit like that anymore. :)

COMMUNICATION is key. I also believe you should never go to bed angry, or leave the house angry with each other.

Well anyway, the Real Secret is following the guidelines that God has ordained in the Bible.
