My In-laws will be married for FIFTY YEARS this Saturday, June 5th! AMAZING!
First of all, let me tell you, I adore these two. They are so cute! They have to be the sweetest couple ever! I hope that me and my husband can be like these two for the next forty-six (and then some) years! They set such a wonderful example. They do so much for others and ask for NOTHING in return. They are truly made for one another and are examples to be followed.
The year. 1960.
Gunsmoke, My Three Sons, The Ed Sullivan Show and The Red Skelton Show were among the favorite TV shows. Eisenhower is President. Kennedy wins the election for new Presidency. Price of a new home: 16,500. Cost of a first class stamp: .04 cents. Gallon of Gasoline: .031 cents. The Twist by Chubby Checker was on the Billboards along with Sinatra songs….just to name a few things going on…and my in-laws…Jimmy and Carolyn Davis were in LOVE and getting married.
Ah….June…the month of Love! The month for marriages. This past weekend I dug for all the facts of their blossoming love and how they fell for one another. And boy, did I learn alot of how my father-in-law adores his lovely wife. He does ADORE her! I love that about them…they are still so in love after 50 years of marriage.
They have raised three wonderful children. And helped with raising their 7 grandchildren. They both worked hard at their careers and are now retired, but don’t let the term retirement fool you. They are still hard at work, spending time with their grown children, grandchildren, gardening, taking care of his mother by taking her places and mowing her yard weekly, volunteering at church, St. Joe hospital, and anyone else that may need a helping hand, they serve as deacons at their church, and teach Sunday School. The list goes on and on of the many things that keep them busy.
I hope that this June they take time off to enjoy one another and remember why they fell in love to begin with! Here’s to another 50.
