We celebrate our Golden wedding in June this year. To some, being married for 50 years is almost unthinkable – 50 years with the same person! Well, for a start and I can only speak for myself, but the past 50 years have flown by. It feels so much less. I don’t feel as old as I am, and I am still waiting to feel grown up. And I am very firmly of the opinion that there are two vital ingredients to help a marriage through the inevitable ups and downs. These ingredients, completely essential, are laughter and food. It’s impossible to know which is the most important, but possibly food has the very slight edge on humour!
We all need to eat to remain alive. It’s as basic as that. But it’s what we eat and how we eat that really makes the difference to how we feel, how we behave, and which helps a marriage, a family, get the most out of life.
