Secrets of Staying (Happily) Married...

Awwww. Thanks for sharing, Trill!

"Talk about love at first sight. When one-year-old Elmer set eyes on two-week old Imogene at a party, he announced, “I want that baby!” Still smitten in elementary school, he proposed with a ring from a box of Cracker Jack. (She turned him down.) It wasn’t until Imogene, now 78, was a senior in college that they finally went on a real date. On their third evening out, Elmer, 79, proposed again. This time she said yes, and two children and two grandchildren later, the Gary, Indiana couple has no regrets."

p.s. Most of 'em married in their early 20s! Take that, social scientists.

Well, marrying in your "early 20s" back then WAS older-than-average then!

Yep. I think teenagers/young adults were more mature and had more social and personal responsibilities than now (therefore making them more apt to have a successful marriage)

This was really cute.

I like the one where Imogene says that he still holds her hand to walk with her, and he says that he holds her hand to keep her from falling down. LOL
