32 years of marriage!!

[Katrina]

My husband and I are celebrating 32 years of marriage today! I've often gotten asked for advice on how to keep a marriage going for so long and some of my initial tips are
Don't kill each other
Tolerate each other's short comings and faults

You can love a person all you want but if you can't accept that they'll do things you don't like, then you'll fail in the end. I know my husband gets aggravated at me for things and I get aggravated at him. How much are we willing to handle and put forth the effort to continue is what makes us last. There were awful years where I really thought it was the end, but then after that came some great years that we would have missed out if we had given up.

I know my parents would have divorced years ago, if it wasn't for the fact that they both individually decided to put up with issues and odd situations that came up over the years. Congratulations on hitting 32 years!

Thanks!! We're waiting until tomorrow to go out to eat since my husband will be off work, and we have a gift certificate for a fancy Greek restaurant that we received at Christmas.

Thanks!! Your parents did what was right for them and it panned out. Kudos to them! It's hard to stick through the tough times.

Congratulations. I'm glad you two are happy together and are committed. My mom's been married to my step father for almost 30 years. It does take patience and a lot of love.

Thanks! We went to a nice Greek restaurant because we had a gift certificate, otherwise we never would have gone. It's wayyyyy too expensive.

We had lamb lollipops for a starter:

There were 4 on a platter with tzatziki sauce for dipping for $20. eek .They're so tiny!

Then we had a meat pizza and it was good.

For dessert we had baklava/ice cream and it was HUGE! That was worth the price!

@Katrina We've been to a Greek restaurant & had tzatziki sauce too. It's quite good!
Glad you enjoyed yourselves with this nice treat 🙂

I like it from certain places but not from all places and I can't get it to taste right when I make it homemade!

We made it ourselves as well but we too didn't get it to taste the same. It was "okay" lol

You're my daughter's age! She doesn't want marriage right now either.
