Growing Old with You – Tips in Reaching Your Golden Anniversary

Staying with another individual and living with him or her for several years can be a challenge. But with love, patience, and understanding, anything is possible. There are stories of couples who remained happy and together until the end of time. But what really is the secret to having a long lasting relationship? Perhaps the best relationship advice can only be acquired from those couples who have withstood the test of time, those who have reached their golden anniversary and are still happily in love.

For Walter and Denyce Dearing, a chance meeting at a bus stop started it all. Walter and Denyce were visiting family friends when they caught each other’s eyes. Walter asked Denyce on a date and went to the pictures in Hull. After three years of courting, the couple finally tied the knot on October 17, 1959 at St. Giles Church in Marfleet.

Afterwards, the couple moved to Bridlington, Denyce’s hometown. There they managed guest houses for about 20 years, first at the Chevin House on Windsor Crescent, and then at the Dulverton on Victoria Road.

Fifty years later, the couple is still together and happily married, celebrating their Golden Wedding Anniversary.

Denyce, who is now seventy one years old, said that the best relationship advice in a marriage revolved around the concept of give and take. It would be a lie to say that the couple didn’t have any arguments and misunderstandings, according to Denyce, but they treated it as a part of life and always managed to sort through the problems together.

Walter, now aged 74, said that the key to a successful marriage was to never be selfish. With a sense of humor, he also said that they were both too busy running guest houses to argue.

On their golden anniversary, Walter and Denyce are renewing their vows at St. Giles Church. The couple has one son, a daughter, six grandchildren and a great grandchild. With 50 years of marriage under their sleeves, it’s safe to say that the couple holds some of the best relationship advice to maintaining a long term relationship.
