ZSIr: You scared me to death with your front page headline story Give Us A Kiss, then I realised that Jim and Alice are celebrating 70 years of marriage. I could not believe my eyes. Truly a marriage made in heaven. Obviously Alice can peel a potato or two; keeps her man happy and is certainly does not have 'want want' on the brain. It seems that Jim does not have wandering eyes either. Now, for the majority, what do we hear? It's the same old story, isn't it? Age, high expectations, something-for-nothing mentality, "I want a change, a future. I have found someone else! Leave me alone I'll have you arrested." Tut tut.
Yet the answer to a happy and successful marriage is simple; abide by your marriage vows for better or worse! Jim and Alice are living proof that it can work.
