When I ran across the photos of my Gggggreat-grandparents, I was touched by the love expressed in this photo. Garner and Betsy Rix were married in 1791, in their early 20's, and died 50 years later after raising 13 children.
For 50 years they looked into each other's eyes and said I love you. No matter how hard life was, in the good times and bad times their love endured.
Through commitment to each other, they show us that love can last forever.

The photographs of Garner and Betsy were taken in 1848. At this time it was necessary for the subjects to sit very still for about 10 minutes in order not to blur the picture. Though their faces look very stern, the letters, diaries and stories passed down in my family tell a very different story.
Garner and Betsy Rix loved each other very much. They were devoted to their children and they made a commitment to love each other till death parted them. They created a loving home carved out of the wilderness and cared for their children with love and kindness. They said I love you to their children often and taught their children to say I love you back. Their love can inspire us to keep that same commitment with our partners. Love can last forever.
Did you notice how the curtains and the way their hands almost meet kind of forms a heart around them? A heart symbolizes the love they felt for each other.

It seems that few couples make it these days. What can we learn from couples like Garner and Betsy Rix that can help us to keep that love alive for the rest of our lives?
Can love last forever?

Yes
lakern26 says:
It takes committment, patience, understanding, and a sense of humor to make love last, but it's definitely possible. My husband and I have been together for almost 17 years (married for nearly 12) ... and counting.
sandyspider says:
I have been married to the same person since I was 19. I wouldn't recommend anyone to get married that young. But we are more than a couple. We are best friends.
CastleRoy says:
oh yes it might take some work but i say yes! my husband and i are so in love it has only been 7 years but i think it will be forever we are best friends as well so in love!
AddaptAbilities says:
Love can last, yes. I think what a lot of people don't know, because it never makes its way into the movies, is that making it last takes work. It's not something that just happens. As a friend of mine once put it, "love is a verb".
WindyWinters says:
Yes, definitely. I have been married to my best friend for 33 years.
No
In Love Together Forever
The Journey of a Lifetime
My husband and I have now been married over 25 years. How far are you on your journey to a love that lasts forever?

- This is such a beautiful subject for a lens! There is so much focus on failed relationships these days that people forget just how many successful ones there are. Your ancestors really are an inspiration! 5* and lensrolled to my Valentine lens!
