How Sweet!

Gotta share this one! 
from Marriage News: http://www.2-in-2-1.co.uk

The Daily Mail
March 21, 2011

Married at 97!!\ Britain’s oldest newlyweds, with a combined age of 184
When Henry Kerr met an attractive younger woman, he feared she wouldn't give an older man a second glance says the Daily Mail <http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1297592/Im-just-married--97.html> .  So he embarked on a four-year campaign to win over the object of his affections, writing her love poetry and spending hours exchanging life stories. And yesterday, 97-year- old Mr Kerr proved you can't hurry love, when he finally wed his younger companion - Valerie Berkowitz, 87. He said: 'I would have asked her much earlier, if I had thought such an attractive, witty young lady of 87 would have anything to do with an old codger like me.'

Mr Kerr believed his love life was over following his wife Gladys's death in 2004, but said he was 'struck like a thunderbolt' when he met Mrs Berkowitz at the North London care home they share.  He said: 'I thought she found me pushy and conceited - until she acquired an analytical interest in the poems I read at the poetry circle I founded when I moved in here. Then we found our affinities.' When they started talking, the pair discovered they had both lived in South Africa, and both had families scattered across the world. He wrote several love poems in an attempt to win her affections.

Mr Kerr, who moved to the care home in 2006 when he was 94, said: 'When I did ask her to marry me a few months ago she went hysterical - she put her head down on the table and couldn't stop laughing.'  Even once Mrs Berkowitz had accepted the proposal, the couple expected to stay permanently engaged to avoid the ' complication' of marriage.  But Mr Kerr, who ran an investment company before retirement, said: 'I felt people were whispering behind their hands and gossiping about us moving in together, and that it was important for us to be Mr and Mrs.' The couple finally married in a traditional Jewish ceremony yesterday at their care home in Golders Green, followed by a high tea for 90 guests.

The newlyweds, who have six children, 19 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren between them, will embark on a one-day honeymoon today but plan to keep its location a secret.  The new Mrs Kerr, a former biochemist and counsellor whose first husband Abraham died in 2005 at the age of 82, said: 'Almost immediately after Henry arrived at the home, we started gravitating towards each other, from breakfast on. He is so totally talented and full of fun, yet also very serious. He's different from my late husband in every way, except that they both had enormous brain power. It's absolutely incredible that we found each other so late in life and that we are so loving - and lovely - together. We go to museums and galleries and theatres in groups - but we are off for a day trip honeymoon all by ourselves, and are thinking about a cruise.'

Mr and Mrs Kerr will keep their two rooms at the home, although they will use one as a bedroom and another as a study.

The couple have also walked away with the title of Britain's oldest newlyweds - previously held by Les Atwell, 94, and Sheila Walsh, 87.

Choose Exciting Over Pleasant

Recently we celebrated our Wedding Anniversary.  We decided to go sledding, yes, snow sledding.  Utah boasts the greatest snow on Earth!  Although most of our pre-marriage dating was in a beach setting, sledding brought back "the sense of love and passion and excitement and connection" that Griswold preaches.  We have added back in simple yet exciting activities to our dating.  Small adjustments can create excitement like going to see live theater rather than a movie, , or making a meal that we often ate when we were first married (with greater cooking experience!) or booking a local hotel room instead of staying at home Creating new memories can flourish the old, and make marriage sweeter.  Novelty in dating seem to be the key to creating new memories and recreating that loving excitement that we crave. ~SimplySweetMarriage.com

For satisfying marriage go for exciting over pleasant

By JAMIE GRISWOLD
MyNorthwest.com

Aron says couples should try activities that are new and challenging for both parties.  "What maintains the sense of love and passion and excitement and connection, is that each of you is feeling that the relationship and the partner is making you grow, and giving excitement to your life, and you associate that with the relationship."

"If you go canoeing all the time, going canoeing again isn't that great a thing," says Aron. "If you go to the opera all the time, fine enjoy it, but if you've never gone to the opera and as long as neither of you hate the opera, give it a try."

Aron says beyond adding exciting activities day-to-day, you should also consider how you can help your partner grow in their long term goals.

"The things that affect you most are things that are new and challenging and exciting. In the long term though it's things that you feel you're growing from, that you have more in your life because of your partner."
