Loving the same girl - always!

"Grandpa... how were you able to love the same Grandma for 60 years?" The grandson expected answers like... "We need understanding..." "We need to talk openly..." "We need to compromise and live..." 🏃🏻‍♀️But the Grandpa smiled, took one look at Grandma and said... "Who told you that I loved the same woman for 60 years?" The grandson was confused. Grandpa continued... At 20, I fell in love with her beauty and her bubbly nature. That was my first love. At 30, she had become a mother. I fell in love with her staying up all night to lull the baby to sleep. That was my second love. At 40, I fell in love with the brave woman who carried the burdens of the family with a smile. That was my third love. At 50, I fell in love with her, who forgot her own desires for the future of our children. That was my fourth love. At 60, even with wrinkles on her face, I fell in love with the friend who understood my worries with just one look. That was my fifth love. At 70, I fell in love with her care — asking me every day, "Did you take your medicine?" That was my sixth love. At 80, I’m in love with my life partner who walks slowly with me and laughs while telling the same old memories again and again. That is my seventh love. The grandson listened quietly. Grandpa finally said... "Marriage isn’t about living with the same person... Marriage is learning to fall in love again and again with the new and new versions of the same person, as time keeps changing." Beauty changes. Age changes. The body changes. Circumstances change. But... - If in every change you can say, "She is still my love"... That is the secret of a 60-year married life. - Love isn’t falling once... True love is falling again and again for the same person in every phase of life. 🙋🏻‍♂️😀
