"you have to have a sense of humor, it helps with the struggles"- Grandma
• What has helped them be successful? Communication
"well I just do what your grandmother tells me to do (as he's smiling) she's the boss" -Grandpa
I love the that they both said to communicate. This is the best healer of must problems any relationship will face. Life was diffinitly more relaxed back in those days of the 60's and 70's without all the pressure we face today. But some challenges are still here in todays world. I like the picture of your grandparents and by the way, what kind of car is that?
ReplyDeleteI love this beautiful story of your grandparents been together for 42 years. It is wonderful that they work out all the challenges to keep their marriage. I agree that raising children is one of the most challenges things to do as parents, but with love, patient and care are the key to be successful. They are a true example of fait and prosperity in a family.

ReplyDeleteHi Ashley, loved the comentary that your grandparents gave you on having a successful marriage. I have been married for 18 years and I have to agree with them it takes communacation, having similar life goals. You have to be willing to work together as partners in your marriage to make it work and you have to be willing to grow together rather than apart.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the advice your grandparents gave you and the picture was great.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post! The picture of your grandparents is SO adorable! :) I'm such a fan of old pictures! They have really great advice, and I like their humor like when your grandpa said "she's the boss" haha :) I also agree with them that communication is a vital factor of success!
