50 years of marriage - Charlotte, NC wedding photography
How many of you know couples that have made it to 50 years of marriage? It is absolutely incredible. According to the statistics, only 3-5% of couples have made it. Wow!! This is a story about my mother-in-law and father-in-law. They got married pretty young at 22. He has been always hard working to support his family and she has been a very dedicated wife and mother. I think a long lasting marriage requires lots of commitment and tremendous patience. I am so blessed and lucky to be married to a man who grew up under such inspiring and loving Christian parents. This is the marriage advice they are giving to those who just got married or engaged or struggle in their marriage.

2. What made you fall in love with each other?
