I heard this human interest story on the news yesterday. I think a good marriage takes work along with compromise, so it always impresses me when I see a story like this.
British couple Frank and Anita Milford celebrated their 80th wedding anniversary on May 26th. The couple met at a YMCA dance in 1926 and married two years later at Torpoint register office in Cornwall, England. They celebrated their marriage by going to a Charlie Chaplin film. They intended to celebrate their 80th anniversary (oak) with their family and were having a nice meal.
According to the Mirror article the couple said, “The secret of their happy marriage is a little kiss before bed, trips to bingo and good plain English food.” They advise young couples to make time for a little romance every day.
Anita said: “Couples these days don’t last long because they don’t take enough time for each other. There just isn’t enough respect.”
