re: How long have you been married?

We don’t say mean things to each other or call names, either. Except the time, very early in the marriage, when I jokingly called him a fool (for something dumb, I’m sure). To which he replied, “I might be a fool, but you are now Mrs. Fool.”

Which means you both have a sense of humor and don’t mind laughing at yourselves. Critical!!

We’ve been married 32 years, together 37. When there are problems (and there will be), you work them out and don’t toss the relationship out of the window. I also chose the right person — he puts up with me (no small task, especially early in our relationship) but I, in turn, do the same. We’ve raised 2 great, productive kids (now self-sufficient, productive adults, both LSU grads who bleed purple & gold) and are empty nesters waiting for grands to show up. We just finished a 5 week road trip and had a blast. And we laugh. A lot.
