30,000 Years of Marriage

300 couples celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary this past Sunday at St. John Brebuff parish in Niles, Illinois. If you think about it, each couple represents 100 years of experience, 50 for the wife and 50 for the husband. That means there was 30,000 years of marriage experience gathered together. Talk about a "wisdom community!"

I wish we could bottle all that experience and then share it with our engaged and newly married couples as needed. Sure would save them from a lot of mistakes we all seem to make along the way. Oh well.

Blessings to all our jubilarians. Thank you for modeling lifelong, sacramental marriage for the rest of us.
