At Arbor Terrace Norwood, we sat down with residents to talk about first dates, lifelong partnerships, and the simple wisdom that carries love through the decades. What we discovered? The best relationship advice doesn’t come from books — it comes from those who’ve lived it.
One resident shared how important love has always been to her. She remembered knowing almost instantly that her husband was the one and how they quickly realized they wanted something permanent together.
Another resident reflected on the sweet simplicity of young love — a movie date that ended at Coney Island with a beautiful stuffed animal and the beginning of something lasting. Sometimes it starts with a simple invitation and an enthusiastic yes.
When asked what advice they would give young couples today, their responses were heartfelt and refreshingly honest.
-
Don’t look for too many faults — but do pay attention to what matters.
-
Listen to what the other person has to say.
-
Find things that interest both of you.
-
Be natural and truly yourselves.
-
And above all, love each other. It really can be that simple.
There’s something special about hearing relationship advice from couples who have weathered decades of change together. Their perspective is grounded, patient, and full of grace.
