| There is a tiny cottage that stands out, among the huge colonials, in my suburban development. It has stood on its plot of land since the ‘40s. It has witnessed the bulldozers of the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s, plowing down trees and clearing the land, for the larger and larger homes being built, for smaller and smaller families. Three children were raised in that little, one bath, home without any traumas. In this adorable, well tended home lives a couple who inspire me. I am not certain of their true ages, but I would guess them to be in their eighties. It is so sweet to watch them on their daily walks, holding hands as they stroll, and joking and chatting away like old friends who haven’t seen each other in ages. Not of bit of boredom, or the dullness of daily routine, has infected this enduring couple. After over fifty-five years of marriage they’re still having fun. The neighborhood has dubbed them The Happily Ever After Couple and it suits them. I can’t share their dramatic love story with you, as there is none. They met because Mr. H.C. was best friends with Mrs. H.C.’s brother. They will tell you, should you ask, that they simply grew on each other and fell in love. Once, I asked Mrs. H.C. what the secret was to her lengthy union, she replied, “The most important thing in maintaining a happy marriage is never neglect the husband and wife relationship. No matter how many children you have, your relationship must come first.” She ended with, “When the couple goes sour, it won’t be long before the family goes sour, too.” I’ve been following Mrs. H.C.’s advice. My husband and I have a wonderful relationship, in fact, we are best friends. Although most of our time is spent on our children and careers, we make time every week just for us. We know how important it is to stay connected and to keep our love growing. I want us to be a Happily Ever After Couple. |
