Hello ma famille,
Just watched a lovely story on our local TV news about a couple who have been married for 80 years today . Percy & Florence Arrowsmith (aged 105 and 100 respectively) have been recognised as having the world's longest marriage ever recorded. They were married on June 1, 1925.
And the secret to a long marriage? Never letting arguments fester. Or, as Percy put it more succinctly, the regular use of two words: "Yes, dear".
"We don't argue much these days, only when I want to watch the soaps (soap operas) on television, which he hates."
Nice.
G xxxx

Seems like the secret to a long marriage is to stay alive a long time. Question is, what's the secret to a happy marriage? (Actually, I know this already but I'm just testing to see if you will say the same thing).
