Yes, of course, I am in a failed "Elephant Graveyard" Sexless / Passionless /Loveless "Room Mates with Kids" marriage. I am not here to jump off a bridge, I am here to get out of this and restart my life. You people have buckets of wisdom and experience to share to help us all move forward. So here is something to think about: 83 YEARS OF MARRIAGE - they still make each other smile / hold hands / etc. What is the advice from the Husband - now over 100 years old: “We’re just lucky to be together. So fortunate,” he said, in an email exchange. The best part of their long life? “Just simply being together,” he said.

I have read several stories about couples who have been married 75 years or more. Its very rare, even for couples married in the 1930s. One thing that they ALL have in common is their attitude. Every last one expresses that primarily they are grateful for each other, and grateful for life in general. An attitude of gratitude is the secret. Unfortunately for this to work, both partners have to have that attitude, and that is why marriages like this are so rare, and so desirable.

To ask the couple any questions about life, love and relationships, just tweet Handy any time between now and Saturday 13th February, using the hashtag #LongestLove. On Valentine’s Day itself, their answers will be tweeted from the Handy Twitter account on their behalf, helping lovebirds across the country figure out the secrets to long lasting love!I don't have a Twitter account. The one thing obvious is he can't keep his hands off of her. And she's excited.
