Hard as Rock: Diamond Wedding

Filed under: Articles, Science — Tags: , Dos @ 1:18 am

Would you believe that today, 50% of all marriages in the America end in divorce? It may be true or not but it’s not a good prediction of the future.

However, isn’t amazing seeing people celebrating their diamond wedding? Let’s take Rex and Brenda Hassock (pictured at right, in their wedding day) as our example. They met in the wedding of Rex’s sister more than 60 years ago. Now, 81and 78 years old respectively, have been together for more than 75. Wow.

They went on to have seven children that blossomed to 13 grandchildren and hear this, seven great-grandchildren.

Their secret? They have a common bond for simple activities and things which makes them happy, “I think our secret is to have a quick row and then make it up.” He said. “We love gardening and doing puzzles and crosswords together, but most importantly visiting all of our lovely children and grandchildren, who keep us on our toes.” the couple stated.
