Sixty Years of Togetherness

My grandparents recently celebrated their 60th
wedding anniversary. They had a blast re-living so many memories they had
shared together. As I looked over our large group of family members that
included their four sons and their spouses, three goddaughters, twenty
grandchildren, and nineteen great- grandchildren, I couldn’t help but realize that
this is what living and marriage is all about. It’s not about how much you spend
on a wedding, or if the guests will enjoy the calamari versus blackened salmon
more, or if you honeymooned on an exotic island. It’s about creating that
special bond with your spouse that no one or thing can break. It’s about
creating a memorable journey together that will have its ups and downs, but one
that you can face as a team. It’s about instilling your values into your
children, and making sure that your grandchildren are taught the same. It’s
about letting them know about your struggle, and the obstacles you’ve overcome
together. Children should not have a rosy outlook on marriage, but they should not
think of it as torture either; their view of marriage should be a realistic one.
So today, I honor my grandparents who raised four incredible sons and impacted the lives of their grandchildren. The
difficulties they faced, drove them together, instead of apart, it made them
dig their heels in a little bit deeper and hold onto each other a little
tighter when all hell was breaking loose around them. I guess I’m saying all of
this to simply remind myself and you to not “sweat the small stuff” and to keep
in mind that your actions and words will continue to impact your relationship
even after the big day is over and the guests have gone home. Remember to
choose your battles and your words wisely. So have fun planning a fabulous
wedding, but don’t let it overpower the energy that you put into building a
lasting marriage and legacy. |
