Celebrating 46 Years of Marriage!

Celebrating 46 Years of Marriage!

Hello Everybody! 

This is Dr. Bob and Debbie DeMaria, and guess what? We are celebrating 46 years of marriage. And we have a wonderful book we want to talk about. 

We wrote about our marriage life, in "Dr. Bob's Guide to a Healthy Marriage", and I picked it up the other day, and I opened it up and I said, "Wow, I need to take that tip and put that into practice even more." Dr. Bob, you have a tip for us?

I'm gonna give a tip to the men. Pursue your relationship with your mate just like you did the very first time that you met her. For example, Debbie and I, we went on a little staycation recently. I made lunch the other day, we had a wonderful time spending time together. So I've always wanted to pursue my wife with the same passion that I did 47, 48, 49 years ago. So men, that one's on you. What about your tip, Deb?

I feel communication. Not any person is right 100% of the time, so I think getting to know each other, bending, not always trying to be right, and then getting that common balance, the common ground that you can use to grow and build on. It's not worth being angry, and it's not worth just an explosion, you don't need explosion, what you need is love and patience, kindness, gentleness.

Part of our secret weapon is that we pray together. I like to see it every day, but it doesn't always work, because of my work schedule. I do everything I can to make Debbie's life easy, and I know that Debbie does everything that she can to help myself with my own routine. We exercise together, we go to church, we watch our church service together, we spend time with our friends and our family, and we just don't have a lot of clutter and peripherals in our life. We do everything we can to work on our mutual relationship. Do you have any other tip you wanna add, Deb?

I just wanna say, be in love. Your life is too short, just take advantage of the moments you have and make it the best.

You know what? One last thought, because we had someone who recently lost her husband. I work on hugging my wife every day. So here's the tip for today, hug your mate. This is Dr. Bob and Debbie DeMaria.
