Hugh and I both turned 60 last July.
We're going on 38 years of marriage next February.
Who'd a thunk we'd be this old?
Who'd a thunk we'd be married so long?
Who'd a thunk we've done all we've done?
Thanks for the memories!!!
I LOVE YOU!
You're a KEEPER!
I don't know how to say this without sounding somewhat odd, but then I am an odd duck of sorts. I really had to think about getting married. Maybe that's not so odd after all - marriage takes some thinking; I mean we're talking time and in our case all eternity too. But I wondered, maybe I would rather be single?
When Hugh asked me to marry him I remember the Spirit making an impression on me,"You can be happy single, but your greatest happiness will come through marriage" - and I might add who you marry. I said, "Yes." I am thankful for my husband, but I am also thankful for the institution of marriage. It's part of Heavenly Father's plan - The Plan of Happiness. Now after nearly 38 years and still counting, of ups and downs and all around I get it more than ever - marrying Hugh was one of the BEST decisions I ever made.
the big things are the little things.
It is a constant appreciation
for each other and a thoughtful
demonstration of gratitude.
It is the encouraging and
the helping of each other to grow.
Marriage is a joint quest for the good,
the beautiful, and the divine.”
James E. Faust,
"The Enriching of Marriage,"
general conference,

Marriage is great! Congrats! It is true, it flies by when your having fun. We will be 10 years this summer.
