Whats the secret of a happy marriage?

You have to make compromises. Young people
expect too much. Once theyve fallen in love with
someone, they think that nothing else matters.
Realism is important, too. Do you think Fred and I
havent fancied other people? Its human nature. But
weve always believed in the vows we made on our
wedding day. We have respect for each other.
What else is different now?
When I started going out with Fred, we never
considered cohabiting before the wedding. It wasnt
acceptable. Nowadays, couples that are getting
married have often lived together for a few years.
They know each other really well, so the wedding
day isnt as special.

Reading

How is life different for young married couples

these days?
These days, couples dont stay together for very
long. When Fred and I got married back in the
1960s, we expected to be together for the rest of
our lives. People rarely got divorced in those days.
Of course, weve had arguments over the years, but
weve always made up.
