A Long & Happy Marriage Isn’t Just a Dream
Posted on
Carl and Eileen Looman of Excelsior Springs, Missouri promised to love each other “In sickness and in health, until death do them part” 80+ years ago. Eight decades of memories, 2 children, 9 grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren and 22 great great grandchildren later, they are still very much in love.
Carl first met Eileen in the 1930’s, and impressed by her good looks and cooking, wrote her a letter asking her to marry him 2 ½ months later. What is their secret to a long and happy marriage?
Eileen says, “ Do things together. Talk it over. Find something to laugh about. Don’t think of the bad things.”
Carl says,” If you want to buy something, ask if it’s alright. If she says no, then forget it. Be happy wherever you are as long as you are together. “
