Today is my parents’ 41st wedding anniversary. 41 years. That is a long long time. Longer than I have been alive.
As I prepare for my own wedding next year, it is fun to get excited about all the plans and ideas for the big day itself, but what comes after that is even more exciting. The fact that I am going to be married to my favourite person, hopefully for the rest of my life.
Thinking of my own parents’ very long marriage, it has made me wonder what it takes to make it work for so long. So I thought I’d ask you. What do you think makes a good marriage? What do you wish someone had told you just before you walked down the aisle?
Are the things that make a good marriage the same things that make a good life?
