I asked both what the key to a successful marriage is after 56 years of good times and bad times.
Oma said, "Compromise. You can't always be right, even if you darn well know you are, sometimes you just have to let it go."
Then I walked outside and asked Opa, "You have to give in, it's not a one way street".
Same answer. Amazing and sweet. I guess I better listen to it.
Thank you for being such wonderful role models for us all! You are both so loved:)
What counts in making a marriage is not so much how compatible you are, but how you deal with incompatibility. ~Leo Tolstoy
When asked his secret of love, being married fifty-four years to the same person, he said, "Ruth and I are happily incompatible". ~ Billy Graham
