“We’ve been married for 52 years. Our health has always been a priority for both of us. We have two terribly different metabolisms but you come to a realization with who you are and what you need to do to be healthy. Honestly, as a younger man Dave could eat anything and I used to swear that I would walk by a vending machine and gain 5 pounds. We just learned to deal with it. Once you understand each other and want to help each other, it becomes more habit than work. Communic…ation is so important, but also understanding that you’re different and being willing to support each other. Dave has always been very supportive and you need that. You have to sit and talk about your health, which we do. We sit and chat at least once a day. We haven’t mentioned our age, but let’s just say he’s well into his 70s, and I’m not far behind him. We want to be around for a long time.”
