My amazing husband and I were both 60 years old when we got married. I was a widow for 17 years while he was a life-long bachelor. After having his heart broken at 27, my hubby had a wild decades-long journey of being single, celibate and eager to find a wife.
I knew I wanted a man who believed in God, marriage, and recovery. When I told friends I wanted to get married under God first, then sex, I often heard, "You’re kidding, right?" One even said, “No one’s gonna marry your old ass for sex!” Surprise, surprise! We both wanted to wait.
We start each day together with prayers and gratitude — three years and counting! My hubby treats me like a princess. And just like you say, we are each other's girlfriend and boyfriend. I’m proof that it’s possible to court one another at this age — and marriage is so much better this way!
