    Every time they laughed, I couldn’t help but smile. In a world that screams “don’t change for anyone else”, it’s so refreshing to see there are people that allow themselves to be vulnerable enough to grow and evolve with others. 😊

    So lovely. I am 80. We were married 58 years lost my husband nearly 3 years ago. I looked after him for 8 years with alzheimers. Life is empty without him. I have a weak heart and often wake thinking I hear him in the kitchen. I believe I will see him soon. This couple are lucky to still be active and happy. Bless them.

    I've now been married to the same woman for 51 years. We LOVE one another. She's my best friend! She's my buddy. We've hiked over 18,000 miles together. We've prayed thousands of hours together. We've read and studied the Holy Bible together for thousands and thousands of hours together. We garden together, we live on our Homestead and we LOVE life and we LOVE living. We are together 24/7 and truly enjoy one another's company and presence. Marriage is magnificent to her!

    I come back to this video a lot. My parents are in an incredibly toxic marriage but won't separate. They've been together for 34 years. There's no more humor, no more intimacy, no soft and patient love between them. I go back to this video to remind myself what love looks like. To everyone with parents who are in a toxic relationship but won't divorce, I feel your pain. It sucks, and I hope things get better for you soon. We all deserve to be happy.

      Scrolling through the comments and I had paused here (and other comments 😅) because I relate to having toxic parents that lost the intimacy and breakdown of communication over 30 years. And I don't want my marriage to end up like my parents, even if I had done wrongs in my relationship. I wish you could find your happiness too

    I came across this and thought it insightful: "Let someone love you the way you are - as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.”

      I have a question. How do males and females bond with each other? I don't see how men and women can bond (especially romantically) with each other. Men and women think very differently from each other. It seems like it's impossible for men and women to emotionally connect with each other.
      Women do emotionally connect with other women, better than men do. Women can build incredible friendships and become very close to each other in a way men can't bond, and science shows that women can bond very well with each other. Generally, women are even more social than men are. After something bad happens, a woman quickly rushes to talk to all of her female friends to get support, whereas a man can isolate himself and grief alone.

    I've been married for 10 years and it's been all over the place. I dont think knowing yourself matters much in marriage because from my experience, we are constantly changing and adapting to our world.
    Who I am today is unrecognizable from the person I once was. I learned how to compromise on the things that matter and let go of what is destructive because I now want nothing more than to both inspire and protect my wife and the children we've been blessed with. Every up and down is a chance to learn and craft a story to help those to come.
    Life is a journey, and we have learned to let things come and go, but the one thing we won't let go of is our commitment to each other. We will keep fighting for the love we share, inspiring and lifting each other to new heights and pushing ourselves to be the person we need to be. I praise God for my wife, kids, and story that has made me who I am today.

    People have a hard time finding this because they’re too caught up in “a type” and reject people who don’t fit the perfect image of who they think they want to be with and focus on physical such as height, complexion, style , how much money they have and other societal things etc. instead of the soul … it’s all about connecting with the soul and that person probably wouldn’t be your exact “type” at first on a 3D level but then they become everything you ever wanted in every way 💜🦋

    What an awe inspiring couple! Thank you Antony and Margy for giving the world a glimpse of what a healthy, truly happy marriage looks like!
    ✨️""Let this relationship change me in whatever way becomes natural, in the interaction between us"✨️
    When asked if Margy will be "ok", if something happens to Antony, her response is just so beautifully rich with acceptance and emotional security. She says:
    🕊" I would miss him terribly, but I feel I have enough of an internal life that has been fed by my love for him, and his love for me that will sustain me:🕊
    How many people.could say that!? Absolutely beyond beautiful!🥲

    I'll never forget the first time I visited Poplar Grove: Margie was in town, just doing errands, and Antony said he hoped she'd be back in time for evening meditation. She got there just as we had all entered the Zendo and about to get started. They gave each other the warmest hug and loving kiss, and the joy of reunion was tangible - like they hadn't seen each other in months, rather than hours. I'm so blessed to have such a great example for my own marriage and family. And gosh, it's lovely to see them both looking healthy and happy, and the Grove looking so lush. Do visit the Grove or read Anthony's books, if you ever feel the calling - I cannot recommend it highly enough. 💗

As a young woman i truly needed this to understand the true meaning of marriage, relationship and commitment. you have to commit to that person in good moments, in bad moments, when they make you laugh or even when they hurt you. this is what our generation lacks. we find it hard to stick to what we love in a person when good moments expire. tolerance and inner peace are the key

    Being accepted for who you are - so important. That doesn't mean not bothering to be "better" but that the other person isn't spending time wishing you were different.
    Nice to see them laughing together so much, but also pursuing separate hobbies.
    I think the support for each other and the realism - acknowledging yes, you could kill them sometimes - are both important. Don't expect perfection! Also, making sure you stop and have a cup of tea together and a chat or make time for a walk.
    Delightful couple.

Relationships and marriages should extend beyond mere romantic love, evolving into enduring commitments characterized by love, gentleness, gratitude, respect, tolerance, service, and a shared responsibility for societal harmony. Above all, anchoring our intertwined lives with the presence of God and steadfast adherence to virtuous values is paramount.

    The fact that they laugh together is a very good sign.
    When I met my then boyfriend over 21 years ago, we shared a particular spiritual commonality, and she has repeatedly appeared before us, when we most need it. We take care of each other, sometimes begrudgingly, but we do it, nonetheless. We married to celebrate hubby's revival into life after 13 months of depression and the mental catatonic state he was in. But there is an undercurrent of giggles and laughter that permeates our lives on a daily basis.
    Hubby has a background tape that plays, (due to his bi-polar state) and it can change daily. And I know something is wrong, when that tape stops playing. Then I have to figure out how to get him to turn it back on.
    We have been through many storms and many good days as well. We'd rather ride the wave, than have it drown us. So we strive to try and ride the wave as much as possible. We are in our mid fifties and I am nearing 60 now, so life's little "issues" have begun to surface, which has thrown us into deeper water. We are learning how to navigate that deeper water these days.
    I heard this long ago that, "A couple should never go to bed angry." And we don't. Thanks to the laughter we share.
    It is called the "Little inside joke scripts, the back and forth language of love."

    The greatest and most miraculous thing to happen in old age is having a companion like this with free laughter and utmost happiness without any worries and regrets. Old age has its own charm and having a good companion is an icing on the cake. In fact, love, intimacy, and mutual respect increase between companions in old age because there is nothing to lose and life has been lived to its fullest. They search more in each other and in their inner self living with Nature to its best before the final whistle is blown.

    Finding ourselves together... integral and integration... being natural in the interaction... a flow, the flow... listen through the eyes of another... playing holes and ladders (smiling))... let it go quickly, a short story of tolerance... the fruit of daily love lessons... infuriating, a breath of fresh air... enter with enthusiasm... a cup of coffee in the morning, a cup of tea in the afternoon

    How wonderful to live with someone who shares and enhances one's life just by being true to themselves. I believe humor plays an integral role in happiness.

    This is a couple that i want to be around all the time. It’s so sad that the concept of mature couples mentoring younger couples is rare and unknown. This couple, in their calm, experienced joyful wisdom is such a great example for young couples, no matter if they are still madly in love or out of love and in trouble. I’ve gone through tremendous hard times with my husband and we are stronger and happier than ever, deeper and more profound than ever. But it takes courage and work and a lot of faith to get through it. It’s so good to see that staying together has great rewards down the road.

      Such a touching message. So glad their story meant much to you. And it's wonderful that you also were able to master many trials in your marriage but are now happier, stronger, deeper, etc. We also thank you for the thoughts you shared about mentoring, it invites to ponder. Sending you much love and wishing you many more happy years together. Justine and Michael. 💚

    Relationships sure are complicated but when you really know what you want in it and what you feel for the other person is given back to you and you help each other grow it's the most beautiful thing , like anything in life it isn't perfect it takes work but it's something worth fighting for when you know it's the one.

    This couple is so very fortunate, it's what I wished for myself but my husband died when I was 46, became very ill when I was 34. I don't see myself ever marrying again, he was my one true love. I think we become less tolerant when we get older because some of us have tolerated so much when we were younger and you get to the point where you 'draw a line in the sand' so to speak and say enough already! I love watching the sheer delight they take in each others company and doing for each other, the give and take is lovely💜
