Jessica's Grandparents: "Our Secret to a Happy Marriage"
According to my grandmother: "Have your own life. Pursue your dreams and let your husband do the same. Being content with yourself makes you a better wife."
According to my grandfather: "Any disagreement can be settled with two words: 'Yes, dear.' "
-- Jessica, Heartthrobs and Villains. (Her grandparents recently celebrated their 60th anniversary.)

those pictures are so, so gorgeous.
grace :)
Great photos, and so far I agree with her advice!
I think that they are both very wise :) Now, if I could just impart your grandfather's wisdom to my fiance...
How sweet!
My husband and I are exactly what you wrote. We let ourselves be individuals and that creates a more happy marriage. My hubby and I are best friends before anything else and this also helps. Arguments often last only a couple of minutes because we know there are more important things in life that to argue over petty things. We are a team with parenting, with our business, with school, with everything and yet we are different entities! LOVE this post! The pictures are awesome! Thanks so much!
yep, the photos are awesome.
i love this. these photos looks surprisingly contemporary.
What a wonderful set of photos. Happy people.
I have to agree with this set of advice from both grandma and grandpa. Pursuing your own dreams DOES make you a better wife. If only because you make the relationship a partnership and less of a co-dependent thing. You're both in it to win it. And will be happy companions for life.
BTW, Joanna, congratulations on your wedding! Saw the announcement in the Times. The Mr. and I have been married for nearly five years now, and we follow this advice regularly.
Those pictures look like they were taken yesterday! Gorgeous, and very wise advice.
Oh is that simple?:P
Love the images:D
There's one more: "never go to bed angry with each other"
What do you think of this one?:)
and another lovely post about marriage! oh it makes me want to get married right away:)

How fabulous! I love these words of wisdom, from both sides.
Cheers.

this is so sweet! my grandparents were married 72 years when my grandma passed away.
What brilliant advice.....lovely photo's x
Great advice! I needed this post today. Thank you. And congratulations on your marriage!!
Oh my! 60 years is quite an accomplishment. My parents just celebrated 39 years over the weekend (the subject of my post today actually) and I thought that was really something. But 60 years! That's just amazing.
The photos are so lovely and sweet.
I am literally dying over these pics, so adorable! Happy 60th!
wise grandparents!

Ahhh, I loved this post. Your Grandparents are quite a pair! My Husband and I have been married 27 years and our story is the same as this and Nomadcraftsetc! Wonderful advice. Congratulations to you too!
These photographs are beautiful! It sounds like your grandparents are beautiful (and wise) people inside as well as out!
This makes me miss my grandparents...but I'm smiling, not sad:) Such sweet advice.
I love the grandfathers comment.
i love it when people give good, honest advice. it leaves room for the stuff that really matters :)
wow, sixty years seems like a lifetime!
gorgeous photos. and the grandfather's advice seems spot on, hehe.
They each have a great sense of humor. It is lovely to be able to look back at their beautiful photos and see their marriage survive all those years with such grace.
Perfectly put by both! Ah ha
I love those photos. What a movie star couple. xx
Your grandmother is very astute and your Grand Pa is sensible. They both wonderful couple, you’re so lucky to have a grand parents like them that you can to look up to. Thank you for sharing this to us.
I’ve been reading your blog post lately because I always find wonderful advices and tips on how to make a relationship works and to have that cup of joy in my life, I just drop by to say thank you for these wonderful post.
I think they had gone through a lot of different challenges in their married life which made them wiser. I guess the secret of having a happy marriage is the presence of respect and understanding in both couple and of course the love ahould always there.
I agree with your grandmother. So many women give up their dreams and then wonder why they are so miserable. We always try not to go to bed angry.
I love the post. Your Grandfather's advice of "Yes, dear" is international. The same thing was said to my Venezuelan brother-in-law the eve of his wedding.
wise, wise, wise words!
LOL! Great advice!
Oh what wonderful words!
I absolutely love this post! All of marriage succinctly wrapped in the package of two pieces of essential advice :) Lovely.
incredible pictures! gorgeous grandparents!
