[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When people idolize their parents' or especially their grandparents' long marriage.  So dumb and naive.  You have no idea whether Granny loved being stuck at home cooking and cleaning and raising babies all day when she had no choice, and you have no idea whether Gramps kept it in his pants.  Zero.  It seems far more likely to me that marriages were less happy back then, it's just they weren't allowed to divorce. [/quote]

Don’t be so cynical! I spent a lot of time with my grandparents before they died in their 90’s and I took many long walks with my grandmother. They were incredibly happy and watching my grandfather care for her when dementia set in was a sign of real love and devotion. My parents are in their late 60’s and live right near us so I see them all the time and I hope to be as happy in 30 years as they are today. My sense is that people who are cynical grew up in broken homes and assume that everyone is miserable but fake being happy. [/quote]

My parents have been married 40 years and they are still very much in love. Heck, my dad enjoys playing golf with my mom and if that isn’t love I don’t know what love is! They are both very good looking and fit and there is no doubt that the physical attraction is still there. [/quote]
