Anne and Marius celebrated their Golden Anniversary, 50 years of marriage!!!
50 years is a long time. In the future many people will have been through several marriages in that span of time. But not so in Anne and Marius' generation. You stuck with what you got and tried to make the best of it. You had made a vow in front of God in a time when religion was about faith and not ideology.
Theirs had not always been an easy life. First a small farmstead with hard work from dawn to evening. Then factory work for Marius and, when the kids had left home, also for Anne.
They had made it, though, and were now enjoying old age together in a small house.
The big day was celebrated with friends and family. Lots of photographs were taken.
The local newspaper was there, and the young female reporter asked Anne: "Did you never think of divorce in all those years?".
Anne thought for a while. "I sometimes thought of killing him", she said. "But of divorce, never!".
