In this week's edition we have a lifestyles announcement on a couple who just celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary. Can you imagine - 70 years!!

To me that is such an accomplishment, one I can only hope to achieve.

This year my husband, James, and I will celebrate our seventh anniversary. While to us this seems great, it is just a drop in the bucket compared to 70 years.

When we celebrate our 70th wedding anniversary James will be 100 and I will be 93, that just seems like ages and ages away.

According to their anniversary announcement the Fishers were married after only six weeks of dating. That seems like such a short time, but I am a firm believer of when you know, you know.

I really consider James to be my best friend. I have my best times while in his company, and I can't imagine how amazing it would be to have 70 years of history and memories with one person!

I was in a major cleaning mode last Thursday, and pulled out my fridge to clean behind it and found something I want to share.

I am one of those people who are constantly cutting and tearing little clips and articles out of magazines to save or share with family and friends. At one point in the past couple years, I had found a little article on marriage, while cleaning behind my fridge I found this little scrap of wisdom hiding and I think it is worth sharing.

Five simple truths about marriage:

1. It is possible to love and hate someone at the same time.

2. If you can't be happy without him, you won't be happy with him.

3. It's better to focus on making things right than what went wrong.

4. Being attracted to someone else doesn't diminish your marriage, acting on that attraction does.

5. If your partner things something is important, it is!!

So here's to wishing all us married folks many more decades of marriage.
