This weekend we had our annual family reunion for my grandmothers side of the family. One of her sisters was celebrating 60 years of marriage. Which prompted my mother to tell about the lady she met at the beauty shop the other day.
As her nails were being finished up, the next client came in and when Lila, the beautician, asked how she was, Mrs. X commented that she was wonderful. She bubbled that day before had been her 61st wedding anniversary. My mother, had to ask the lady, what the secret of 61 years of marriage was. Matter of factly Mrs. X explained she and her husband were very compatible, got married young and still had sex three times a week. In fact for an 81 year old, he was still quite good she told them. Mrs. X attributed his virility to her husbands Irish and Italian heritage, although she thought it must be the Italian side that kept him so strong.
She went on to tell about how her husband had gently woken her up that very morning, "But I want to sleep!" she said. "But I have something to show you!" he said. "But last night was our night," she sighed. "Are you kidding? I am not Superman!"
Gotta love those old folks, they are too funny. (Although none of my grandmothers sisters shared any of those kind of stories.)
So.............what do you think?

I guess "old folks" depends on your perspective. We've only got 23 more years to go the celebrate our 60th.

Oh man, I have 51 years before I get to that anniversary and then I would be 96 years old! Heavens!
Hubby and I will soon be celebrating our 37th and it's not a whole lot different now than when we were married. We went from maybe 5-6 times a week to 2-3 times and we don't fight about money as much. And we NEVER fight about the kids!! :)
In fact it's a whole lot better now. We know time's too short to not be our best!

So funny!
(Won't even go into how jealous I feel about their relationship -- sleep deprivation leads to deprivation on so many levels!)
I think I might have cringed a little at that. A bit of an over-share, but sweet!
No one ever believes that "older" people actually still have sex and are so shocked to find out they do.
Good for them!
We should all be so "lucky".
lol!
I remember in nursing school having the conversation of intimacy at nursing homes. Some people just could not comprehend "old' people "doing it," but I just smiled. God made us this way...come on Abraham and Sarah were how old when they had Isaac??? My dad always said intimacy is the gift God gives married couples to stay glued together! -sorry if that's TMI!
Bwahahaha That's too funny!
