My husband and I started out early together and now 12 years later I just adore him--there is noone I would rather hang out with. It is so encouraging to me (in a world of so many broken relationships) to see a love like this so many years later.JMBMOMMYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08409633590101381735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538251275202889882.post-25868609762291909542008-07-01T14:20:00.000-07:002008-07-01T14:20:00.000-07:00Isn't it great that Jesus loves us like that....every moment of our lives?

She notices those same things in their relationship. I hope she'll post it to her blog sometime in the future. I guess there's a reason that couples who grow old together, make it that long.<BR/><BR/>I have a long way to go in this respect.

I love to sit and watch people interact with each other. I love to see people caring for each other, loving each other. It is beautiful and inspiring. And then I realize that I need to pay more attention to my own relationships. I have been together with my husband for 21 years, since I was 16 years old! Sometimes we do forget the little things, especially me. I hope someday we will be that old couple you wrote about.kristenkjhttp://nosmallthing.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538251275202889882.post-36241550921213584512008-06-25T08:57:00.000-07:002008-06-25T08:57:00.000-07:00Beautifully put!angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02529859630615522678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538251275202889882.post-11012436427451907452008-06-25T06:07:00.000-07:002008-06-25T06:07:00.000-07:00Excellent!<BR/>Have a nice daydavid santoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08976825493652779441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538251275202889882.post-966751905439210302008-06-24T23:25:00.000-07:002008-06-24T23:25:00.000-07:00This is my prayer for my hubby and I as well. I always see older couples and think, "Oh, how sweet, we'll be like that when we're older".

Older couples who are affectionate and caring towards one another truly touches your heart.

Just yesterday we were in the Bay Area and stopped by to take my grandma out for dinner. When she was in the car with us, she made a point to ask, "Don't you two hold hands anymore?" It's easy to hold hands in our Suburban, but in our minivan there is no center console to rest them on. I thought it was interesting that even at eighty-seven years old, she still notices those things.<BR/><BR/>Joanne <BR/><BR/>p.s. I was wanting to meet up with you this week, but underestimated just how exhausted I'd be after the trip. (I am working until 3am today, ugh!) can we get together next week?
