Because it is a touching human interest story. This is a diverse forum. Some of us have varied interests. Some of us are $#@!s.

Well, maybe you will have this topic all to yourself since you are that interested in this particular topic.

Sweet story.

[Common Sense]

It's not sweet?


Some people just can't get over their hangups I guess. I can't imagine being so jaded or so intrenched in my beliefs that I would find this unpalatable. It's a shame.

if ya don't like the article, don't read it. I think 72 years together is worth noticing.... Just think, people used to get upset when someone in their family got divorced 'cause it was shameful...my, how times do change.

Nobody's forcing you lot to read the thread, lol.

[The Xl]

Good for them. 72 years is a long $#@!ing time.

[Dr. Who]

72 years. Now that's love.

If it's not broke, don't fix it. They'll be divorced by next year. It's the kiss of death to long term living situations to get married. Next thing you know the one in the wheelchair will be sharing her denture glue with another woman.

It happens.

Sooner or later ... you're going to need that individual who wants to change your diaper

Now that they're married, the government can force them to support each other. They may realize that marriage has disadvantages.
