From the LVRJ: Want to know the key to a long and happy marriage from an expert?
"Every day ask her how she feels and 'Is there anything I can do for you?' " said Wilbur Faiss of Las Vegas. "And say, 'Honey, I still love you.' "
Faiss, 100, clearly speaks from experience. He and his wife, Theresa, 96, were married more than 78 years ago in Centralia, Ill.
The Worldwide Marriage Encounter announced Tuesday that the Faisses are the winners of its longest married couple contest for 2012. Three other couples who have longer marriages, and are still alive, have been honored by the faith-based organization in past years, according to Dick Baumback, who oversees the program. A New Mexico couple, who celebrate their 83rd anniversary Feb. 14, were honored last year, and two others have been married more than 80 years . http://www.lvrj.com/news/after-78-years-centenarian-knows-secret-to-long-happy-marriage-138010263.html
To have this happen in Las Vegas is amazing, where we are not only the marriage capital of the world, we also lead in the most divorces as well.
Congratulations to the Faiss's and to the other 3 long lasting marriage holders. So many people don't take marriage very seriously any more, so that makes this marriage more significant.
Only 76 years more for my better half, Cathy and me.
