I walked up to him, heart full of curiosity, and asked, \u201cHow long have you and your wife been married?\u201d His eyes twinkled as he looked at me and asked, \u201cGuess my age, but don\u2019t guess too low.\u201d\n</p><p>I made a few guesses, and finally, he told me, \u201cI\u2019m 96, and my wife is 93. She suffers from Alzheimer\u2019s, but this is our date night.\u201d My heart swelled. This elderly couple, together for what seemed like a lifetime, still held hands in the simple, yet profound way that only true love can create.\n</p><p>He went on to share that if they made it to June, they would be celebrating 75 years of marriage\u2014an incredible milestone, one I could only dream of.\n</p><p>Getting all the way to the end of life with the person you started out with\u2014what could be more beautiful? What could be more glorious? To have that unwavering bond that carries you through every season of life, through every challenge, through the good times and the bad. It was a reminder that love isn\u2019t always about grand gestures or moments of perfection\u2014it\u2019s about the consistent care, the patience, and the deep connection that grows stronger as we age.\n</p><p>They were living proof that love, when nurtured, only deepens with time. I left Wendy\u2019s that day with a renewed belief in the power of love\u2014the kind that lasts through the years, that doesn\u2019t fade with the passing of time, but instead becomes a beautiful, unshakable force.\n</p><p>Moral: True love isn\u2019t just found in the early years of a relationship. It\u2019s built over time, strengthened by the quiet moments, the shared struggles, and the tender care we give to one another.
