The secrets of a happy life. Something to do, something to love and something to look forward to. Eric and I have been married over 35 years. Being best friends means we can cut each other some slack when necessary. So glad that you and Cheryl have found happiness the second time around.

Great column Cecil. Janice and I are approaching our 39th anniversary. We agree that the secret has been love and a commitment to making the marriage work. Happy Anniversary.

Happy Anniversary and congratulations for realizing that love is still and always was there! What a comfort in life to have a partner that you can show even the parts of yourself that you're not proud of, and they still love you! It's truly a gift to recognize that-congratulations to you both. Your story warms my heart and makes me smile-thank you for sharing this! God Bless you both!
