I think the reason why my grandma and grandpa's relationship has lasted for so long (over 40 years) is the fact that they have a special trait of commitment to each other that is uncommon in couples of today as it were in couples of say yesterday. For one, my grandma and grandpa have always had a willingness to communicate with one another. They have always been able to talk things out. One hand always knew what the other hand was doing. There were no secrets.
I think today’s couples are not willing to conform to the commitment of communication. There's so much individualism, so many secrets. My granparent’s relationship has not always been a smooth one. There were some bumps along the way. There were the arguments and the fights, which eventually ceased and patience, understanding, and trust took over. And with that a beautiful friendship blossomed into a strong, healthy relationship.
Thanks to their bond these old folks enjoy the simple things in life, sitting on the porch watching the sun go down, no one says a word but they come away like it was the best conversation they had ever had..........Credit goes to the commitment they made.

good post here. its all about Hollywood these days. With all the current wreckage being caused by Hollywood, you wonder where we are headed. It is like, I can marry you when I feel like, and divorce you similarly, cuz I can move on and get on with somebody else easily. The classic idea of "falling in love" is long lost. More importantly, we have moved away from God and we've gone much further and further away. It is almost impossible to find out a way back and we need a miracle.
