Sometimes I am amazed when I think of all the challenges we have been through and lived to tell the story. We keep joking that we won't make it another 44 but here's hoping to as many as life gives us...and then some. Thanks and congrats on all your years with that special "one."Lucy Naylor Kubashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06595948650454049233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327711394794234168.post-26460737351161943422016-06-17T14:31:55.717-04:002016-06-17T14:31:55.717-04:00Well 26 years seems small considering the numbers ...Well 26 years seems small considering the numbers above. I knew Paul for 17 days before I realized he was the man of my dreams. His integrity was verified by his secretary of over thirty years. My three failed marriages were interspersed with ten years of lonliness each. Never want to be alone again, the Lord willing.<br />Rohn Federbushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02016317876402074001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327711394794234168.post-39065037289839075332016-06-17T10:18:45.250-04:002016-06-17T10:18:45.250-04:00Congrats on your long marriage, Lucy.

I'm the one who blows up while Hubs either shrugs it off or simmers. I can count on one hand the number of times he's blown up at me. To make a relationship work, both have to give 100%, most often not at the same time. Sometimes he gives 80 and I give 20 or the reverse. Never the same. We still find things to talk about. He's the engineer--science minded, non-fiction reader; I'm more of the artist, music-lover, fiction aficionado. And we stay away from politics. In fact, I think we cancel each other's vote.<br /><br />Diane Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03754105332297068271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327711394794234168.post-41476384042836720072016-06-17T09:34:57.816-04:002016-06-17T09:34:57.816-04:00Beautiful story, Lucy.

Can't tell you the number of people who thought we wouldn't last either. Ron always says we stayed together because we grew up together. Congratulations on your many years of success!

We had a few ups and downs in 61 years together, but none we couldn't resolve. There were tears, laughter, short-lived blow-ups and heated "discussions", but somehow we made it work. The older we became, the more mellow we were and the sweeter our love grew. We learned together to appreciate what really mattered - each other, our <br />family and home. From your blog, I think you've had a wonderful relationship. May you have many more happy years together.Loraleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03642869592750484556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327711394794234168.post-40239125794301606222016-06-17T09:25:02.244-04:002016-06-17T09:25:02.244-04:00Wonderful words of wisdom, Lucy.

I guess we must have had our doubts because we decided we would work on a one-year contract. Every year, on our anniversary we decide whether to renew or not. So far we've always renewed. But you're right, there are some times (minutes, hours,days) when one or the other of us wonders. So far, he is "the one."Marishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14714052867941990380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327711394794234168.post-4623652605399735352016-06-17T09:11:40.349-04:002016-06-17T09:11:40.349-04:00Thank you, Patty.

We're at 35 years, so I guess the formula works for us, too! Congratulations on 44 years of success. Patricia Kiyonohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14763838993363110626noreply@blogger.com
