Celebrating 50 Years: How to Make a Marriage Last

This summer John and I celebrated 50 years of marriage.  We can hardly believe it!  One of the most common questions we’ve gotten in recent years is What does it take to make a marriage last?

We’ve written and spoken a lot about marriage over the years, but today we’re going to do something different. Today we’re inviting you in to our marriage, and sharing some of the lessons we’ve learned over these many years. 

Then and now!

John and I are each sharing three different things we’ve learned over the years that are crucial for a marriage to be successful.  When we sat down to film, we didn’t know what the other was going to share, but we seem to be pretty in sync.  I guess 50 years will do that!

Join us in our backyard for a glimpse into our marriage and what we’ve discovered along the way.  Wherever you are in your relationship — or if you’re just considering marriage — I hope this will give you some perspective and practical ideas.

And yes, John cut me off at one point. You might say I’m a talker — and that we’re still a work in progress.
