50 is a great number.
We hear so much about the failure of marriage, and of marriages. But it’s not the whole story.
My cousin-by-marriage Kippy, and her husband Marty will celebrate their 50th this year.
So will my dear friends Don and Barbara Hauler.
50 years of marriage! These couples got wed when I was 14 years old, and my favourite brother Martyn was but 4. Next year he and his beloved Wendy will celebrate their 30th.
Back in Pittsfield I greatly admired Ralph and Marjorie Zupanec. They had been married for 62+ years when Marjorie died. And I’d get quite misty eyed when they walked to Church, still holding hands after all those years.
Three of the gay/lesbian couples I know here in SRQ have been together for 50+ years.
Let’s hear it for commitment and fidelity. Those virtues (in the broadest possible sense) make Churches, Communities, and Nations strong.
