The problem there, of course, is that many that attend are widowed. Not an inspiring scene. But somewhere you can find long-time married folks still on their feet and enjoying each other. Every time I go to the clinic, or call at the hospital, I see older couples accompanying one another to their health appointments. These folks are tender, concerned and caring.
Marriage includes whatever comes.
I would encourage young couples to spend some time at the hospital waiting room, or the waiting room outside any of the specialties at the clinic. They will see marriage at work. I passed a couple just leaving following an appointment. She was steadying him on the arm that wasn t using the cane. They were talking and clearly valuing their companionship.
