George and I have been married for 16 years. I married my best friend which makes marriage easier although still at times horrendous. Our secret to falling back in love with each other over and over is laughter. Not a day goes by that we don't laugh together. Single ladies, find someone with a good sense of humor it's one of the most important qualities to look for, trust me. Great article, soooo true. George and I have been married for 16 years.

I love your 50 is the new... I have been married for 30 years and my advice to people is to be willing to work hard at it. Now I know that isn't glamorous but anything we are willing to work hard at usually gets better, or at least doesn't completely fall apart. ) As Smiley and I age and our children have grown we are now in a new phase of our lives so we are each trying out new things. Smiley now has his pilots license and flies a small plane (a thing I have NEVER been interested in) and I have 2 tiny terrier dogs that run all around and bring life into our house so I don't miss the "boys" so much. Tiny dogs are something that Smiley has NEVER wanted. If you now see us in the sky in a tiny plane with two tiny terriers sitting behind us you will know that is what our love is really all about-compromise and being able to see the other persons side of things. Love really is the thing that gives us wings to fly. Connie, Thank you so much for writing this.

I fall in and out of love with myself all the time. Maybe I could stand to do it with someone else who might do the laundry from time to time.

I guess anyone who pays attention to folks who are married can see that. My parents have been married for over 60 years, and through thick, thin, good and bad, they are committed to one another. Endurance seems to be a good thing on all counts. So the fairytale notion that marriage is bliss is a bunch of malarky. I guess anyone who pays attention to folks who are married can see that.
