I photographed this sweet couple on the morning of their 50th Anniversary.  I asked them what the key to a successful and long lasting marriage was and this is what they told me:

1.  Have patience with each other.

2.  Enjoy the small things in life, like a nice candlelight dinner or walk on the beach.

3.  No matter what, she’s always right

4.  Remember that life is short, so 50 years doesn’t seem like enough time together when you are happy.

All lessons any of us in marriage should try to remember every so often…
