Marriage
My grandparents got married at a courthouse, and they lasted for seventy years before they passed away. When I was younger, I asked them what it took to make a marriage last that long, and they said a lot of compromise and love. They said they may have had a lot of stress and arguments, but they always worked through it together and talked things out. The only serious argument I ever remember them having was a silly one when I was a child. My grandfather used to joke that he was going to trade my grandmother in for a newer model. Well, one day while fixing breakfast, he told her that, and it was the last straw she had on hearing that saying, so she picked up the cast iron skillet and threatened to knock him out with it if he ever said that again. About an hour or so later, they were making up and hugging each other, and he told her, “Dear, you know I'd never trade you in. You're my other half.”
