On Growing Old Together!

You fall in love when you’re young, but youth doesn’t last forever.

There are many phases to growing old as a couple.

First come the babies followed eventually by teenage trauma.

All through these years, the two of you are scrambling to pay tuition and keep the kids out of trouble.

Eventually the kids may get married.

Then the grandkids begin to appear and you are asked to play a role with them.

Meanwhile, the two of you don’t look the same as when you first met.

Because you are so involved with your kids and grandkids, you find little time for the two of you.

One or both of you may health issues as you age.

So, marriage is not for the faint of heart.
