We hated at 15; married at 19. Our friends set us up – really, SET us up – for failure. We dated toward success. 43 years come May I will still say I love you.

  15. Wow! 43 years is huge. There are time when I think long relationships are fragile because of their long, shared history, but your story reaffirms the steadfastness of time.
