What you want your marriage to look like...
If they make it a few more weeks, they will have been married 70 years. I'll have more to say about them then, but I wanted to say a couple of words about Marsha's folks, Don and Jean Herttenberger. Grandpa just got out of the hospital after having a pacemaker installed. Granny is battling bed sore issues. He had to stay a couple of nights more than planned.
So when we got him home, I had to roll him over to Granny so they could share a kiss.
It hasn't always been easy, but I think I have figured out how they made it.
They go to church. Raised their kids in church.
They pray. They read their Bible.
They don't quit. I think they probably could have several times. But they didn't.
They say "I love you" lots.
They still kiss.
I love them.
So glad Marsha and I have their example. And my kids. And now their kids.
Thank you God for Granny and Grandpa. And for their love for you and each other.
