Congrats and best wishes to both of you! I know I am getting old when several of my friends have passed the 50 year marriage -- not just birthday -- mark.
I have had the same girlfriend for 46 years -- we are coming up on our 42nd wedding anniversary in June. Her parents and mine split up between 25 and 30 years of marriage, both after taking E.S.T., Lifespring, and other pop psych "courses" that were fashionable in the 1970s.
Mary Ann Swenson, the recently retired Bishop of the Methodist Church for the southwestern US region, was an avid bicyclist. She and her husband took a cross-country tandem trip to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary, and she was a regular bicycle commuter. Several years later she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and she is one of the very few women I have ever heard of beating that disease. Keep cycling!
