This is such a cute video! Watch below to glean nuggets of truth on how to stay married for 63 years. This is Erin Bates Paine interviewing Grace Hardy, the wife of a man affectionately known as Preacher Hardy. They got married when she was 18, he was 17, and they are still married, after 63 years! (My parents aren’t far behind, it’s 61 for them.)

Here are some nuggets of truth I learned from Mrs. Hardy:

-a man sees himself through the lens of how his wife sees him

-a husband wants respect

-go to church together and serve together in the church

-study marriage and learn principles about successful marriages from books about marriage. She has read a book every year of her marriage.
