Ana Luca (www.AnaLuca.com) interviews Marybeth and Bill, a charming couple in their 80s who have been married for 55 years! They offer us a rare glimpse into the workings of a lifelong commitment. We discuss their decision to get married within two months of meeting (when you know, you know!), the importance of communication in their marriage, and so much more. Along the way, they offer interesting life stories and fond memories. 
In this discussion, we cover a range of topics, including:

Getting set up by their mutual friends who saw their potential together 
Choosing a complementary partner whose strengths, skills, and interests fill in your gaps to make life easier for one another 
Selecting a partner with complementary goals and values to minimize debate or negotiation on what matters to you
Maintaining continual dialogue and open communication for a strong relationship
Balancing each other’s priorities and goals through all seasons of the relationship
Supporting each other’s goals, interests, and passions
Combining your passions 
Talking out issues and never going to bed angry with your partner
Addressing conflicts at the moment so both people can move on quickly without resentment
Making major decisions together as a couple, consulting the other for their perspective
Maintaining individual social lives alongside togetherness
Enjoying each other’s company and quality time together

Marybeth also talks about previously dating an unappreciative boyfriend with narcissistic qualities whom she almost settled for before meeting Bill, a man who’s treated her right for over 50 years. This episode will inspire you to cultivate a meaningful relationship with the right person. Marybeth and Bill’s life journey is a testament to the enduring power of love, commitment, and mutual respect.
