Sixty Years of Marriage

Posted in: Marriage
During our sixty years together, my husband and I developed a deep mutual respect for each other. In other words, I learned early in our marriage just how far I could push him and, later, he learned how far he could push me. This formed a good working relationship for us as we dealt the the challenges of the coming years and rearing four children.
We always discussed major issues and what we wanted to do. Usually, each of us did what we had in mind before the discussion started. Looking back, I think it was the mutual respect for each other that prevented criticisms and angry outbursts at these times.

Posted 9:00pm July 7th, 2009Thank You so much for sharing your insight. My parents were the same way, and they had the happiest of marriages. Of course there were the little bumps along the way, but in watching my mum and dad together, I learned many things which I now apply in my marriage. I think mutual respect is one of the most important things anyone can learn in a marriage. It certainly makes for a happier and loving life together. Respect is one of the basics that we were taught. Mutual Respect is what I learned when I married, and I'm glad I did. Your blog brought that learning back to me and it was very nice to have read it.
