1
Over the last three years, I have asked more than 100 married couples one huge question.
2
What would you say is the key to 60 years, 20 years, 54 years, 58 years together and successful, long lasting marriage?
3
And their answers have taught me more about love and dating than any book, course, video or school ever could.
4
And in this video, we will be sharing some of their most insightful, emotional, and knowledgeable pieces of advice we have heard to date.
5
How long have you been married for?
6
40.
7
Huh?
8
No.
9
1987.
10
Can we do that math really quick?
11
37 years.
12
Well, this will be 37.
13
37, yeah.
14
There's a times 10 factor.
15
You lose track.
16
You guys are married?
17
Yes, we've been married many years.
18
How many?
19
Good.
20
The year.
21
It's always like that.
22
See if you know.
23
54 years.
24
Yes, 54 years.
25
We met in 71.
26
We've been together 53 years.
27
Yeah, almost 53.
28
I kind of feel like a lot of my friends, like after 20 years of marriage, you want out.
29
40 years of marriage, you're like, oh my God, what have I done?
30
They never make it to the good part.
31
A lot of flowers that don't bloom for decades.
32
Interesting flowers.
33
She's very interesting.
34
And she's really intelligent.
35
And to me, very beautiful.
36
Sweet.
37
and we've been married 58 years, but still great.
38
What would you say is the secret to 58 years together, and you said still great?
39
The biggest thing is we both married our best friend.
40
True.
41
Well, to me, it's having your best friend next to you all the time.
42
When Ann goes out of the way for a few days, I'm sort of out of sorts.
43
We're together 32 years.
44
We've known each other for 50 years.
45
But somehow we never got, and we were single.
46
Right.
47
And so he got involved with other people and went separate ways for 18 years.
48
And sort of had a child together.
49
You know, that would have been awfully nice.
50
I was younger.
51
I worried a lot about finding love in my life, enduring love.
52
You know, whether it was living with someone or married to someone, it didn't work out.
53
Then we're together 30 years, so we came together fairly late, you know, in midlife.
54
And yes, it was that important.
55
And as you get older, it gets even much more important.
56
The most important decision you make in your life is your marriage and who you marry.
57
I can make or break it, as we all know.
58
It can be a success.
59
They can encourage you in whatever you're doing, discourage you.
60
The best thing that I ever did was I met Joan, and it was the best decision I ever made.
61
I was 23 and she was 20.
62
So that was our 20s.
63
You got to have your mate with you as long as possible when you get older.
64
Yeah.
65
Be single when you get older is not good at all.
66
How long have you guys been married for?
67
It's going to be 60 years in October.
68
What has gone you 60 years?
69
Still happy?
70
You know, I'm assuming, right?
71
Still happy?
72
Still enjoying?
73
There's a couple of days here and there that are pretty good.
74
What's the secret to a long-lasting relationship?
75
You got to be flexible.
76
You can't be dogmatic.
77
you're not always right.
78
She's not always right.
79
No.
80
I know what she's going to say.
81
You told me I'm a lot of talk, not you.
82
So I'm talking.
83
You can't let things fester.
84
You got something on your head, you talk about it, you resolve it, finish it.
85
Yeah.
86
Can you define the word love for me?
87
I don't know what the hell that is.
88
I can't define it.
89
If you can smile regularly, you're okay.
90
A lot of it is caring.
91
It's respect.
92
don't pick fights respect and um i mean love what's love he's crazy you know
93
so you got married at 87 with that lady there married for three years wow you've been married three years you got married at 90 to a younger man.
94
You're a cougar.
95
Congratulations.
96
How does that feel?
97
Thank you.
98
There you go.
99
Robbing the cradle.
100
What I have felt in this relationship is that I hadn't felt any red flags.
101
So, okay, so love is no red flags.
102
I had a friend who once said, I love it in life when all of a sudden the lights go green.
103
That's what's happened.
104
I like that you were looking at him too when you said all this.
105
Life worked very well after I met.
106
My first husband died.
107
After I married John, life was just very, very good.
108
We've been fortunate enough to always travel, so we've been almost everywhere.
109
We've just had a wonderful life.
110
We're very lucky.
111
Love is not looking in each other's eyes, but it's looking together in the same direction.
112
What would you say is the key to a successful, long-lasting marriage?
113
Patience, patience, good principles, you know?
114
That's important.
115
Cover your ears.
116
Oh yes, okay.
117
That is my opinion.
118
How do you appreciate each other for so long?
119
My wife is really a wonderful wife because she's every time very, very correct with me.
120
And correct with everybody anyway, all human beings.
121
So you're always right.
122
I'm a little bit of a nun.
123
What are the sacrifices that you guys had to make or have to make in order for this to work?
124
Quite frankly, I don't think I made any sacrifices.
125
I guess that marriage is not for everyone.
126
None at all.
127
God, I mean.
128
Some people are thinking, oh, I have to sacrifice my freedom and this and that.
129
No, I think you have more freedom when you have a committed relationship.
130
Most relationships are not just a compromise, but a complementary existence.
131
One person is the good cook, me.
132
One person takes care of the finances, him, and that gets worked out in a relationship.
133
But I think it's also an attitude toward life in general.
134
I mean, I guess you could ask somebody, what kind of sacrifices do you make for your job?
135
Well, if you really like your job, you know, look at it like a sacrifice.
136
Good marriage gives one a sense of safety and comfort.
137
It allows you to grow, just like a child who feels secure in their relationship with their parents is then willing to go out in the world independently, knowing that there's a good attachment.
138
That's what marriage is.
139
It's an attachment.
140
Marriage is, you know, 60%, 40%, 60%, 40%.
141
Isn't that 50-50?
142
I'm usually the 60.
143
I would hope so, yeah.
144
I've heard from my dad that's the standard.
145
That's the best way to go.
146
60's pretty good for, I'm glad he's getting 40 at least, you know.
147
We're 67 years married.
148
No matter if we do get in arguments, which happens at all times with all people, we try not to let it hang over till the next day.
149
We have it set in our lives that we embrace each other every morning, no matter what happens.
150
And it erases any problems that we might've had.
151
It brings us back to a decent level relationship.
152
I think that's important.
153
I love that.
154
After speaking with thousands of people, including a lot of entrepreneurs and founders, I have found one big issue.
155
Most chaos in business and life doesn't come from chaos, but rather losing track of what's actually happening in life.
156
A deal moves forward, but nobody follows up.
157
An order comes in, but you're not sure what is in stock.
158
The sponsor of today's video, Odoo, helps to fix that.
159
With Odoo, you can create a quote, send it out, and turn it into a sales order and invoice in one simple flow, even including approvals, signatures, and payments.
160
At the same time, Odoo gives you real time inventory tracking and smart reordering so you already know what's available and what needs to be restocked.
161
For example, if you're someone who's ordering 100 everyday planners from us, we can instantly check if we can fulfill it.
162
And if not, Odoo will flag it before it becomes a real problem.
163
If you're building a business and want sales and inventory to feel more organized, You can try Odoo by clicking the link in the description or scanning the QR code on screen.
164
So you guys are both on your second marriage.
165
Can you define the word love?
166
I'd say love is care.
167
It's a big word, but I think love means caring for someone.
168
It just lasts.
169
I think there is a feeling that applies better to us rather than one of us.
170
what do I love about you is less than what I love about the both of us together as a couple.
171
That's what I love.
172
You're like, uh-uh.
173
That was a good answer.
174
That was better than what I was going to say, so I don't want to say what I had.
175
The most important thing is honesty.
176
Not doing anything.
177
That's a good foundation to build trust and loyalty.
178
It's an agreement that the trust is above everything.
179
Yeah, we don't break the trust.
180
Love is the ability to sacrifice oneself for the when you can put things aside that are from your ego or preference or personality and just say, yeah, I'll go with that.
181
That's love.
182
When I was a girl, I made a list of what I wanted in a guy, and then I met him.
183
He had some of the valuable qualities that I wanted, like kindness, spirituality, intelligence, like really intelligent.
184
Now, I had other things on my list that he completely doesn't meet at all, but he had the right character.
185
So all through the years, again and again, I chose to love him whenever we'd get upset, whenever we completely didn't agree, whenever he wanted to live somewhere and I didn't want to live somewhere.
186
That was a real crisis.
187
Girls now, they're taught that what they want is the most important thing, rather than what is the we, what is like the best thing for us together instead of what's the best thing for me.
188
When you give up that me to a we, that's love.
189
I think that the key word is respect.
190
You're not always going to agree with what he or she is doing.
191
Ultimately respect their choices.
192
I think you have to learn how to say you sorry.
193
That is a really big thing.
194
I thought that love is never having to say you sorry.
195
Oh, but it is.
196
And that's a ridiculous statement.
197
That was just for you, yeah.
198
What's the value of being with someone for the rest of your life, hopefully, versus jumping around and like, oh, if I have all of these options available to me, why would I stick with one?
199
It's the good, the bad, and the ugly.
200
You know the good, you know the bad, you know the ugly, and you still love the person.
201
I mean, you can't ask for more than that.
202
It's just, there's something really great about that and special.
203
And even when you're angry at the person, and you still flick on that coffee machine that they need for the morning because you know they need that, that's commitment.
204
What's the value of it?
205
I think you get to a point, every relationship that's enduring, where you need to refresh it.
206
For the relationship to keep growing, a way to get closer.
207
You don't need to rush into marriage.
208
We were together for five years before we got married.
209
And then it was sort of the right time.
210
It added something ineffable, right?
211
But real.
212
I think finding a life partner is the biggest gamble in your life.
213
But if you do find it, it can be the magical part of your life.
214
Well, we were kids when we met and there was a lot of luck and just communication.
215
If I could give younger people advice is finding the right partner is important and therefore not having kids until you are more sure that it is the right partner because there's so many divorces in life.
216
And obviously waiting a bit to have kids doesn't negate divorce, but it minimizes the chance that if you're not together as a couple, don't introduce someone else until you're sure.
217
How is dating difference when you guys first started dating than it is today?
218
I think the pressure on kids now is pretty hard from social media to go out, what to do, who to be with, where you are.
219
I think they're smarter about protection.
220
They Uber instead of drunk driving.
221
We did not do that.
222
Anything that you're going to do, get video consent for it first.
223
Right.
224
There was no permanent record of how incredibly inane you act.
225
It was easier back then and it's tougher now.
226
We were doing crazy stuff and no one was filming it.
227
I mean, now they are.
228
Every movement that you make is on film and you have so many distractions like, you know, social media.
229
Commitment is harder because of that.
230
What are some things you think we could do to have like more opportunities or better chance of finding real love.
231
I think you should take this and flush it down the toilet.
232
Personal connection.
233
You can't replace that.
234
I think it's very difficult now for dating.
235
One, because it's all done kind of remotely.
236
A lot of this texting back and forth, which seems like the worst way to communicate.
237
We were very immature when we got married.
238
We were both 22.
239
Speak for yourself.
240
I think it's harder than it ever was.
241
But I also think that people's expectations are higher than maybe they should be.
242
I think that you have to kind of take a chance on people and get to know them better.
243
Having unrealistic expectations of this person is going to be lined up right up with all your ideals and all your priorities.
244
It's not going to ever happen.
245
Like you're going to have to make compromises.
246
And so there's going to be surprises.
247
What's one thing that when you were younger, you put a lot of importance on?
248
And as you got older, you realized wasn't actually that important.
249
You want the truth?
250
Chasing girls.
251
And then I met my wife and we've been married for 45 years.
252
I saw the futility of that.
253
It's a lot nicer to be in a very loving couple than to be chasing women all the time.
254
Don't be afraid to fall in love.
255
Yeah.
256
No, it's true.
257
Some people are.
258
Some people are very sort of, you know, they're afraid of becoming dependent or getting hurt or whatever, but you shouldn't.
259
You got to risk it.
260
Feels like people aren't putting themselves out there as much or taking that risk.
261
Yeah.
262
Yeah.
263
I think maybe they think that there's always somebody else to try.
264
So I get too bogged down with one relationship and just keep moving around.
265
And after a while, you find years have gone by and you've just been moving around and not like challenging a relationship to continue like day to day.
266
Yeah.
267
You know, not looking so far ahead all the time.
268
It is really, it's about day to day.
269
Yeah.
270
Even a long-term relationship has to do with today is today and it's the next day.
271
Let's get better.
272
How do you recommend someone finds love in this day and age then?
273
Be open to find it.
274
And if you get hurt, that's how you know you're alive, right?
275
Don't make it a shopping list.
276
I like to see who I'm with.
277
So when I met her, I looked at her and I just saw flashing lights.
278
So does she.
279
Let yourself be changed by the person that you need.
280
I've changed him a lot.
281
I like musicals.
282
He goes to musicals with me.
283
I love you.
284
That's shocking.
285
It wasn't my habit.
286
Yeah.
287
Literally follow your heart.
288
Like no one knows what you want except for yourself.
289
Sometimes you won't listen to yourself because maybe what you want is not what others would want for you.
290
I married a man 20 years older than me and everyone around me said that it was a wrong decision.
291
Three years later, I can say that I'm so happy that I followed my heart.
292
Yeah.
293
And it comes with sacrifices, but it was the right choice.
294
Amazing.
295
Let's bring him in.
296
Because you've been speaking about him the whole time, so this is the husband.
297
Okay.
298
Having a partner in life is the best thing because you always have that person that is going to be there for you.
299
It's work, but it pays off.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
