We’ve Never Had our First Argument

Annie: Well, I’ve always said, this is just one little thing. Lou and I have had a wonderful romance in our life and I just always have said, never let a week go by without having a date, and it has to be something special. To me, just tell him you love him all the time, you know? It’s very important. This is just the way I feel. We’ve had a wonderful romantic life. We really have.

Lou: I don’t think we’ve ever had the first argument.

Annie: Sounds kinda crazy. If he’d say something nasty to me I’d cry, and I’m tough!

Lou: We would hope that our children would follow that. We would hope, you know, that the boys – we think our boys are nice gentle people, and we would hope that our daughters are treated accordingly. That their husbands would just be so nice to them that they would never, ever raise their voice. I don’t know…

Annie: He’s my best friend!

Lou: I think that’s the most important thing, to be in love. If you are married, be in love and stay in love and show it, be it.

Annie: How’s that? No, you wouldn’t cry but this is, really, if you practice this on a daily basis it becomes a good habit. It’s a good habit. The thing about it you have to remember is don’t – people who have children, don’t make your romance so important that it excludes your children. They have to know they are loved too.
