A Long Line of Love

Today would have been my parents' 52nd wedding anniversary.



And it is Mary Beth and Ed's 29th wedding anniversary.



I've asked Mary Beth many times what is her and Ed's secret to a happy marriage. Her answer has always been basically the same, "We just got lucky, T."

While luck may play a small role, both Mary Beth and I know it takes much more than luck to make a happy marriage. We learned from watching Mom and Dad.

From the outside looking in, one thing that Mary Beth and Ed's marriage has in common with Mom and Dad's is the same "If it's broke...FIX IT...don't throw it out" mentality.

I believe that is the true "luck" and "secret" to the success of the two marriages I most wish to emulate.
