What constitutes a great marriage and is marriage sacred anymore?

Marriage should be taken very seriously but today people take it very lightly...The sanctity of marriage shouldn't be torn down or so easily demolished with a simple meeting and the signing of divorce papers. We marry for better and for worse....The good and the bad! We hear of divorces after twenty or thirty years of marriage....How? Why? What possesses someone to enter that single world again? Men and Women are very complex human beings....It takes a lot of work, patience, compromise, compassion, drive and consistency in the things done day to day that makes a woman and a man compatible with each other on a lifetime basis!
I love to see a couple that's been together for sixty years or more....If at all possible when I meet an older couple that's been married basically their whole lives, I have to strike up a conversation! Talk about an education....That's one you can't buy!  If a young couple wants to know what makes a good marriage work, find someone who's been married for fifty years or more! And if they're willing, and most are, you will learn tons!

This is a beautiful couple of 65 years we met at one of our beautiful Weddings! Just absolutely amazing!!!!

We love the sanctity of marriage and appreciate the meaning of a great marriage!
