How did you first meet?

We actually met online through bigchurch.com.

What was your first date and what encouraged you to keep dating?

Our first date was a trip to Boston to see the Aquarium and the IMAX theater.   We had a great experience and decided to date again.

What was your best date ever and what made it so outstanding?

Our best date so far was to accompany Bill to the wedding of his friend.  It was fun to be together and enjoy the wonderful occasion of a wedding.

How do people describe you as a couple?  

Loving.

What’s one of the biggest challenges you have faced as a couple and how has that challenge affected your marriage? How would you encourage other couples that may be facing this challenge?  

Finances are always a challenge, especially with unemployment for each of us in the recent few years.  Honor God by tithing, even when you are unemployed and He will reward you.

What is something you are most proud to have created together?

We have a beautiful home that we work on together.

What are some marriage resources that have helped you in your efforts to build a better marriage?

When you think about your future together, what are you most excited about?  

Retirement, so we can spend more time together!

What is your idea of the ideal date?  

Spending the week together where we can hike and kayak out in God’s creation.

    It’s always great to hear about how people met later in life. It sounds like these two have done a great job of blending their families together and the fact that they are known for being “loving” speaks volumes about how they’ve managed to do just that! Thanks for sharing their story, Steve! It’s great to learn more about what makes each couple “tick” and “stick.”
