Secrets of a Happy Marriage From a Couple Who Lived Together Eighty Years |
Are you dreaming of a happy long marriage with your Ukrainian Bride? Then you should read this.
In the family of Nicholas and Rafael Ordaz, romance plays a decisive role. A couple, originally from California, USA, has recently celebrated the 82nd anniversary of a joint life. Nicholas the other day turned 102 years old, and Raphael celebrated her 100th birthday in October last year.
"Their parents also lived in a happy marriage for many years. Our family does not even know what a divorce is, - admits Letitia Ordaz, one of the many granddaughters of the couple. "Raising family values is a very important part of the culture."
Five generations came for the celebration of the anniversary of marriage, but despite such turmoil around them, the eyes of lovers looked only at each other.
"They are still madly in love. And it's hard not to notice, - says Ordaz. - In all the photos they hold hands or try to kiss each other stealthily. During the holiday Grandfather suddenly embraced his grandmother and loudly said: "Raphael, go to the bedroom right now!". Of course, we all heard it and laughed cheerfully! "
"But he did not even blush. Grandfather said that he is married to the most beautiful woman in the world, and now she is desirable to him the same as in his youth. "
Of course, long-term relationships are built not only on passion.
The couple believes they have lived for so many years in a happy marriage because they always respected each other and tried not to attach much importance to small things.
"They care about each other," says Letizia. - During the celebration, my grandfather watched closely, if Grandma got a piece of cake. Although she has diabetes, she generally can not eat cake. But he just wanted to share this moment with her. "
Their granddaughter Leticia is 39 years old, and she has already celebrated the 10th anniversary of her marriage. She says that her grandfather and grandmother taught her a lot in life.
A few more years together - and Nicholas and Rafael Ordaz will be able to set a new record: the longest marriage is now the union of Herbert and Zelmira Fisher, who lived together for 86 years.
But in any case, the marriage of Nicholas and Raphael is a symbol of happiness and longevity. "With age, their memory becomes worse," says the granddaughter. "They forget the names of many people, but they will always remember each other." |
