In the Year 1964

1964

Funny how time flies. Our family just had the privilege of celebrating my In-laws 50th wedding anniversary. Dating at age 15, they fell in love, married, two kids, and have experienced the ups and downs most marriages of that length go through.

No matter how long you have been married, you too can take a moment and ask "How am I leading the next generation by my example in my relationships and marriage? The time you take to invest in your spouse will pay off! Not only will those around you see your care for the other person, but they will receive joy in the time you took.

My husband Bob created a fun "time capsule" of questions for our party, let's see how you do on the following....(see how many questions you can get right...enjoy!)
