Worded poorly, my mistake. Aunt Penny is the oldest of my grandfathers four siblings, and out of those five kids are the only couple still married.

I posted a picture of him smiling from a years ago. You’d be correct!

Surprisingly strong. Being the oldest of my grandfathers siblings and easily the most well adjusted, she has an extremely matronly way about her and you can’t help but want to be close to her. My cousins were given the world by these two and were always appreciative

Wow, I didn’t even realize how soon after the ruling they were married, thanks for that information!

I love they set that bar in their relationship. It’s been inspirational to marriages like mine where my husband is oversees half the year. Embracing my independence and his as a basic human necessity makes me love my partner even more

My aunt Penny’s family was in a suburb outside of Akron OH when they met and married. I haven’t heard them talk about those times much (I can only imagine) but very soon after they moved to Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco and lived there for most of the 70s. Aunt Penny has described those years as easily the best of her life. My family has always treated Joel as one of our own, and their branch of the family went on to be by far the most successful, full of lawyers, teachers, and football players.

We have a few LGBTQ+ in the family, one who came out to my great grandparents as early as the 50s. There was never a lack of support or love so if they were gay, seems pretty silly to hide it for 50+ years.

My uncle Joel I believe had one brother who passed long ago but he doesn’t talk about his family much.

Yeah, no. Very much in love, three kids together. They lived separately so my uncle could raise the kids in the same district all their lives and she moved around the state doing administrative work. After the kids left, it’s just what worked for their lifestyle. It’s okay to be straight, married, and a fan of your own independence. 🤷🏼♀️

It’s so funny because their personalities are so opposite what’s shown here. She’s always been more serious whereas he could make a mime laugh. He was always good at getting her going, I love watching their interactions

They’re still alive and kicking! Still very much in love. My aunt penny was a school administrator for over thirty years. Uncle Joel was always jovial and eccentric with a great love for musical theater and the arts. They lived in separate domiciles for most of their marriage but always spent their days together and called each other on the phone every night before going to bed. They accredit living separately as the key to their marital success ♥️
