Married Over 50 Years: “Love Each Other Even When You Don’t”

Fill in the blank: Love is… Patient. Kind. Love is Work. Hard to find.

But if you wanna put your finger on what makes up “long-lasting love”, you’re gonna need some wisdom to fill in those blanks.

So today, meet three couples who’ve been together for over 50 years.

Join the conversation onFacebook,Twitter, and email.

GUESTS:

  • Angela and Grant Loavenbruck of Rockport, Maine, have been married for 55 years
  • Emery Austin Smith and Vivian Ashton Smith of the Blue Hills neighborhood in Hartford have been married for 65 years
  • Shirley and Seymour Reitman of Bloomfield, Connecticut, have been married for over 70 years
