First, I want to thank all of you so much for coming. I can't begin to describe how much it means to Reginald and me that you are here with us to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary.

Reggie, for fifty years we have been married. What was I thinking?! I'm kidding, of course. I still remember that day fifty years ago when you became my husband. It was raining out, but you were sure to hold an umbrella over my heard so that not a single raindrop touched my head.

It was a beautiful ceremony. I can remember looking into your eyes as we recited our vows. It was at that moment I knew that my life was finally complete.

Reggie, you've been a huge inspiration to me throughout our marriage. Even when times were band, you always stayed positive. When Emily was born and had to stay in the intensive care unit for several months, you always tried to stay positive for me. It if wasn't for you, I would have completely fallen apart those months.

You've inspired me to be a hard worker. After the twins came and I had to work loses to take care of them, you picked up a second job so that we would have enough money to get by. I don't know how you did it those days when you had to wake up at five in the morning and didn't drag yourself back into the house until ten o'clock that night. You were exhausted, but never failed to give me a kiss, and talk with me about my dya. Sometimes you would fall asleep while I was talking, but I knew you would hear me so I could continue to talk to you.

It is those days that I think about when I contemplate giving up. When I think about stopping work, when the car breaks down, when life throws me a curve ball, I think about those nights when you would drag your tired body into the house but never cared about yourself, and instead turned the focus and your attention on me and my day.

Reggie, you have made my life simply wonderful. I want you to know how happy you have made me, but words cannot describe it. You've brightened by life in large ways and small. Having you wake up next to me for the past fifty years, knowing that you're there for me through thick and thin has made life worth living.

It is because of these reasons that I would like to give you a gift. It's a picture of us fifty years ago and one of us today, with a quote weaving between them. The photos illustrate how our love has grown and lasted, and the quote vocalizes the many years of love we have yet to come.

Thank you so much for marrying me on this day fifty years ago.

Golden Anniversary Christmas Ornament
Staying married for 50 years is certainly an accomplishment worth celebrating.

Let me start my speech by greeting everyone of you who had come to share with us this momentous even in our married life. Carla and I are deeply honored for your presence and for making this day more memorable. Wow, I can't believe I've been married to the same woman I exchanged vows with 50 years ago! Looking at you my beautiful Carla, you looked the same way you did when you walked down that aisle and into my arms that fateful day of June 5, 1961. Since then I consider myself the luckiest man in the world.

Looking back, I can't help but be amazed at how we were able to surpass every trial, every obstacle in our marriage. You always referred to me as the stronger one but it was you who gave me the strength I needed especially during the times when I felt like giving up. Thank you Carla for always being there for me.

I may not be as rich as Bill Gates or Donald Trump but having you for a wife is the most priceless treasure I have in this lifetime. I have your undying love, faithfulness, patience, and understanding, what more can a man ask for?
The last 50 years weren't so easy on us. We had our own share of marriage problems but together we were able to overcome them all. It has always been Jorge and Carla. We should consider ourselves blessed since not all couples out there are able to make it to 50 years. We are a legend in this world.

Today marks another special moment in our married life. 50 years of marriage bliss and still counting! Carla, you are my wife and my best friend. I will forever love you, till death do us part.

Surviving Infidelity

Susie is desperate to get Bob to go to pre marital counseling, but Bob doesn't want to. He says "there is nothing wrong with our relationship, don't you love me?" For Susie this means so much more. Susie's mother has been married three times and Susie is not willing to make that same mistake. She knows that with her mother's track record that it is going to be really tough for her to not copy the relationship mistakes that she has been watching her mother make her whole life. So she sits Bob down and tries to explain it to him over a nice meal. She explains to him that her parents had a lot of marriage problems, and that she doesn't want to make the same mistakes. She explains that there are a lot of marriage counselors that counsel people before they get married and that seeking out marriage advice is a proactive step that they can take to insure that their relationship gets off to a good start. "You can't always stop divorce from creeping in" Susie said, "but I want to have the tools to save marriage and have a healthy and happy life with you."

Well, there is no arguing with that kind of logic. Obviously, Susie knows that the baggage that they bring to the relationship with them can be half the battle. Not having had good role models who were in good healthy relationships, makes Susie predisposed to having more problems in her relationships.

Premarital counseling is one of the best methods of insuring a more enduring and endearing relationship. It can help a young couple like Bob and Susie learn to relate to each other better, how to find workable solutions to the problems they face, and how to hang on through the tough times. Some premarital counseling even offers a couple the opportunities to work out real life scenarios together to see how they would really work together in a crisis. All these tools will help teach them how to identify their own needs and those of their partner. It will help them to build a better life together and Susie was right to sit Bob down and explain it to him, so that he would have a better understanding of how this could affect them in the future.
