Did you ask her how her relationship was built and maintained? Maybe we can all learn from her wisdom.

Well, no, but old fashioned. It was normal in the past to get married, stay together and never think about divorce no matter what. There was far more tolerance, today far less tolerance and more demand. Which isn't bad per se, life is too short to stay in relationship fort the sake of it. He did often house chores, quite rare for a men of his generation

I don’t think it’s “forced staying together” thing if she actually loved him till the end, I’ve seen the old guard hate each other guts, but if she did love him and he loved her for decades, I do think both of them put effort into it and that’s their wisdom I’d like to have as well.

But you are right - it is heart warming to see old couples like that, old friends as well ❤️
