I reminded her that we were reared to remain reticent about such matters and quietly resolve our disputes without involving the rest of the family and so, no marriage isn't easy. Its a constant struggle but made easier because of love, commitment and a sense of fairness. So I found myself apologizing to her.
So congratulations if you made it to 50 + years of marriage you are all happy warriors

Your post is so inspiring - thanks for sharing. My husband has an aunt and uncle, who God willing, if they both make it another couple of months will be celebrating their 80th wedding anniversary! Now there's a milestone many of us will never be fortunate enough to see in our lifetimes, but it is really a blessing to be able to celebrate with the few who do.
