We Spent 20 Years Doing Everything Wrong — This Is What We Learned

I'm Arthur, and this is my wife Elaine. We've been married for 62 years, and I need to be honest with you: we almost didn't make it. #over60 #lifeadvice #lifelessons People look at us and assume our marriage was easy because it lasted. The truth? We spent the first 20 years doing almost everything wrong. We kept score of every sacrifice. We tried to change each other. We stayed silent to avoid conflict. We became roommates instead of partners. We forgot we were on the same team. There were years when we barely spoke. Years when we lived like strangers. Years when both of us wondered if we'd made a terrible mistake. But somewhere along the way, we started learning. Not because we were special or wise, but because we got tired of being miserable. #LifeRegrets#ElderlyWisdom#RelationshipAdvice In this video, we share: The 5 biggest mistakes that nearly destroyed our 62-year marriage How keeping score builds resentment that almost ended us Why trying to change your partner creates permanent conflict What happens when you stay silent to "keep the peace" How we went from partners to roommates (and back again) The crisis that reminded us we're supposed to be on the same team What we wish someone had told us on our wedding day This isn't a fairy tale.
