    So lovely. I am 80. We were married 58 years lost my husband nearly 3 years ago. I looked after him for 8 years with alzheimers. Life is empty without him. I have a weak heart and often wake thinking I hear him in the kitchen. I believe I will see him soon. This couple are lucky to still be active and happy. Bless them.

    I've now been married to the same woman for 51 years. We LOVE one another. She's my best friend! She's my buddy. We've hiked over 18,000 miles together. We've prayed thousands of hours together. We've read and studied the Holy Bible together for thousands and thousands of hours together. We garden together, we live on our Homestead and we LOVE life and we LOVE living. We are together 24/7 and truly enjoy one another's company and presence. Marriage is magnificent to her!

      I have a question. How do males and females bond with each other? I don't see how men and women can bond (especially romantically) with each other. Men and women think very differently from each other. It seems like it's impossible for men and women to emotionally connect with each other.
      Women do emotionally connect with other women, better than men do. Women can build incredible friendships and become very close to each other in a way men can't bond, and science shows that women can bond very well with each other. Generally, women are even more social than men are. After something bad happens, a woman quickly rushes to talk to all of her female friends to get support, whereas a man can isolate himself and grief alone.

    I came across this and thought it insightful: "Let someone love you the way you are - as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.”

    I come back to this video a lot. My parents are in an incredibly toxic marriage but won't separate. They've been together for 34 years. There's no more humor, no more intimacy, no soft and patient love between them. I go back to this video to remind myself what love looks like. To everyone with parents who are in a toxic relationship but won't divorce, I feel your pain. It sucks, and I hope things get better for you soon. We all deserve to be happy.

      Scrolling through the comments and I had paused here (and other comments 😅) because I relate to having toxic parents that lost the intimacy and breakdown of communication over 30 years. And I don't want my marriage to end up like my parents, even if I had done wrongs in my relationship. I wish you could find your happiness too

      I'm a parent in a toxic relationship but won't divorce because if we get divorced I would be out on the street with no security after grafting to pay a mortgage for 20 years while she would live on in comfort and security in the family home but that's just what it's like for a man in the 21st century.

    I've been married for 10 years and it's been all over the place. I dont think knowing yourself matters much in marriage because from my experience, we are constantly changing and adapting to our world.
    Who I am today is unrecognizable from the person I once was. I learned how to compromise on the things that matter and let go of what is destructive because I now want nothing more than to both inspire and protect my wife and the children we've been blessed with. Every up and down is a chance to learn and craft a story to help those to come.
    Life is a journey, and we have learned to let things come and go, but the one thing we won't let go of is our commitment to each other. We will keep fighting for the love we share, inspiring and lifting each other to new heights and pushing ourselves to be the person we need to be. I praise God for my wife, kids, and story that has made me who I am today.

    I'll never forget the first time I visited Poplar Grove: Margie was in town, just doing errands, and Antony said he hoped she'd be back in time for evening meditation. She got there just as we had all entered the Zendo and about to get started. They gave each other the warmest hug and loving kiss, and the joy of reunion was tangible - like they hadn't seen each other in months, rather than hours. I'm so blessed to have such a great example for my own marriage and family. And gosh, it's lovely to see them both looking healthy and happy, and the Grove looking so lush. Do visit the Grove or read Anthony's books, if you ever feel the calling - I cannot recommend it highly enough. 💗

    Being accepted for who you are - so important. That doesn't mean not bothering to be "better" but that the other person isn't spending time wishing you were different.
    Nice to see them laughing together so much, but also pursuing separate hobbies.
    I think the support for each other and the realism - acknowledging yes, you could kill them sometimes - are both important. Don't expect perfection! Also, making sure you stop and have a cup of tea together and a chat or make time for a walk.
    Delightful couple.

    thank you so much for this video. As a young woman i truly needed this to understand the true meaning of marriage, relationship and commitment. you have to commit to that person in good moments, in bad moments, when they make you laugh or even when they hurt you. this is what our generation lacks. we find it hard to stick to what we love in a person when good moments expire. tolerance and inner peace are the key

    What a captivating vlog! In a world marked by separation and fractured families, it's truly heartening to see individuals recognizing and cherishing the profound significance of matrimony. Relationships and marriages should extend beyond mere romantic love, evolving into enduring commitments characterized by love, gentleness, gratitude, respect, tolerance, service, and a shared responsibility for societal harmony. Above all, anchoring our intertwined lives with the presence of God and steadfast adherence to virtuous values is paramount.

    The fact that they laugh together is a very good sign.
    When I met my then boyfriend over 21 years ago, we shared a particular spiritual commonality, and she has repeatedly appeared before us, when we most need it. We take care of each other, sometimes begrudgingly, but we do it, nonetheless. We married to celebrate hubby's revival into life after 13 months of depression and the mental catatonic state he was in. But there is an undercurrent of giggles and laughter that permeates our lives on a daily basis.
    Hubby has a background tape that plays, (due to his bi-polar state) and it can change daily. And I know something is wrong, when that tape stops playing. Then I have to figure out how to get him to turn it back on.
    We have been through many storms and many good days as well. We'd rather ride the wave, than have it drown us. So we strive to try and ride the wave as much as possible. We are in our mid fifties and I am nearing 60 now, so life's little "issues" have begun to surface, which has thrown us into deeper water. We are learning how to navigate that deeper water these days.
    I heard this long ago that, "A couple should never go to bed angry." And we don't. Thanks to the laughter we share.
    It is called the "Little inside joke scripts, the back and forth language of love."

    The greatest and most miraculous thing to happen in old age is having a companion like this with free laughter and utmost happiness without any worries and regrets. Old age has its own charm and having a good companion is an icing on the cake. In fact, love, intimacy, and mutual respect increase between companions in old age because there is nothing to lose and life has been lived to its fullest. They search more in each other and in their inner self living with Nature to its best before the final whistle is blown.

    This was so completely touching. I cried. When I look at people who have had good long marriages, I see this comfortability in them. It is this comfort and strength I feel. My parents always said living with someone who is a stranger is no easy thing. However, through overcoming hardship and having very similar values I saw this amazing and touching friendship grow in my parents. And even now they learn from each other. It is something God willing, I hope I am able to have too. I wish that many people would also know this. To not be so consumed and addicted to immediate intense attraction but know that hardship is a part of life.
    I also think these two people were generally healthy minded people when meeting, but for those who have had a lot of hurt finding healing is vital to sustain a long term relationship. If you do not fight your own demons, those demons are brought into the relationship and it creates this tornado. I pray that our society finds healing so the hurt does not grow and continue.

    This couple is so very fortunate, it's what I wished for myself but my husband died when I was 46, became very ill when I was 34. I don't see myself ever marrying again, he was my one true love. I think we become less tolerant when we get older because some of us have tolerated so much when we were younger and you get to the point where you 'draw a line in the sand' so to speak and say enough already! I love watching the sheer delight they take in each others company and doing for each other, the give and take is lovely💜

    "I have enough an internal life fed by him, to sustain me." Absolutely. Lost my husband almost three years ago. He was 38 and I was 31. We were married six shorts years.. we have four children. He blessed me with so, so much good. A good relationship is worth its weight in gold! God bless you both! 🙏🏽💕

      Your words are so powerful... Even after losing your husband only a few years after being married, you share so much energy and appreciation in this message. It's touching that you can say that 'he blessed you with so, so much good'. We hope you are doing ok. Sending you strength, positivity and love for every new day. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚

    “Be who you are” its so simple, yet so important. Being in the dating world, this means everything to me. Not trying to impress or portray an ideal image, just being honest and truthful. It might hurt my chances, but it’s the person who appreciates your weirdness who’s the one to date.

    This is a couple that i want to be around all the time. It’s so sad that the concept of mature couples mentoring younger couples is rare and unknown. This couple, in their calm, experienced joyful wisdom is such a great example for young couples, no matter if they are still madly in love or out of love and in trouble. I’ve gone through tremendous hard times with my husband and we are stronger and happier than ever, deeper and more profound than ever. But it takes courage and work and a lot of faith to get through it. It’s so good to see that staying together has great rewards down the road.

And it's wonderful that you also were able to master many trials in your marriage but are now happier, stronger, deeper, etc. We also thank you for the thoughts you shared about mentoring, it invites to ponder. Sending you much love and wishing you many more happy years together. Justine and Michael. 💚

    Wow , wow as a teenage girl I always was told that love is beautiful.. I always had silly crushes and loved people , and everytime I feel like they are my soulmates but after watching this video of just two old people in love since years and years made ME heart warm , I have realised that love is beautiful and that if someone make you feel like it's hard to love you , they are not meant for you , " loving someone mean that you can be you in every way possible with them and with all your little habits and little decisions you know that they will love you for everything "

    I couldn't keep smiling throughout the video. It was beautiful and peaceful to see them and hear what they had to say. My husband and I are in a relationship for the past 21 years and are still very much in love. I understand and feel what this beautiful couple is saying. At present people give up too quickly and also they tend to look for what the other person is bringing into the relationship. An important lesson that I learned from my relationship is that I focus on what I bring into the relationship and what I can do to improve the relationship. If my partner loves and respects me enough he will surely follow suit, and that's exactly what happened in my relationship. Thank you, GR for sharing this beautiful video. God bless you all!
