Woman Married 79 Years Dies

From the LVRJ: Just nine months after being honored with her husband, Wilbur, as the longest married couple in America, Theresa Faiss has died in Las Vegas.
She died Sunday at age 97. Wilbur and Theresa Faiss had been married for 79 years.
"She was an amazing woman who was adored by her three sons," Linda Faiss, Theresa Faiss' daughter-in-law, said Tuesday. "Fortunately the family got together a couple of days ago for Dad's 101st birthday."
In January, the Worldwide Marriage Encounter announced the Faisses were winners of its longest-married couple award for 2012. The award is given only once to a couple, so three other couples at the time might have had longer marriages.
Wilbur Faiss, a member of the state Senate from North Las Vegas between 1976 and 1984, is the oldest living former Nevada state legislator. The couple had lived in Summerlin since 1985.
He said in January that the key to success in politics or in marriage was "compromise."
"Every day ask her how she feels and 'Is there anything I can do for you?'" he said. "And say, 'Honey, I still love you.'"  http://www.lvrj.com/news/las-vegas-woman-of-longest-married-couple-fame-dies-176514681.html
ll, i can say is wow.
In our family, we have had some long marriages, at least 3 over 50 over 50 years.
And then we have had some that lasted a few months.
To be married for 79 years is just unfathomable but it shows true love and lot's of compromise and making sure the other half is happy.
RIP Mrs. Faiss and may your family and friends celebrate your life and they will share your secret of your happiness.
