wow, those two are OLD. wow. i can only hope that i die before i reach 100.

okay, i can probably count on it.

i think this is great. i mean, the chances of them divorcing in their 70's, 80's, or 90's were probably slim, but i think it's good that they have been together so long.

people these days are terrible. they go into a marriage thinking "oh well, if it doesn't work out, there's always divorce. that'll clean it all up." yeah, except for the fact that you were the moron who went into the vows with that in mind. it's really sad that there are people who will get married if there is any doubt that they really want to be in the relationship in sickness and in health, as long as they both shall live. it's awful. there aren't any excuses, either. "irreconcilable differences" my ass. i don't think anything in love is impossible if you ever thought you cared enough about the person to promise them your life. i can understand filing for divorce if your spouse is a constant infidel, but even then your spouse shouldn't have gotten married if he or she was going to be the dumbass to take that security for granted.

i needed to rant about this because many people these days are complete idiots about marriage. i don't need to quote national statistics for anyone to understand how many marriages end in divorce. out of me and my 5 friends, only two of the six sets of parents are still married. those being paul's and jenno's (i'm not counting david, being as we have the same set of parents). that's horrible.
