ETERNAL LOVE

This is a truly inspiring story of how LOVE lasts if you work for it!!! Barbara and Harry Cooper have been married for 72 years, and they want to share their secret!  Their oldest and youngest grandchildren, Kim and Chinta, helped the couple start The-OGs (The Original Grandparents), a site dedicated to showing how old fashioned courtship works in modern times. Their site and advice became so popular they were featured on The Today Show!! Checkout their clip from the show to learn more about the couple, their site and what has kept them together 72 years later.  Love!!!!
When I'm with her I always feel good... She cared for me, I cared for her, we respected each other - Harry Cooper
Props to NBC and The Today Show for the video.

    Something to hold:
    ~ Love, Hugs, & Kisses ~
    ~ They constantly touched one another ~
    So Affectionate & Carefree was He towards Her.

    Be Blessed, because this shows how LOVE CAN LAST.
    My grandparents (both sets) had a testimony, but their LOVE LASTED
    until the end. Peace.

    ~ HOPE ~

    TO GOD BE THE GLORY

    This gives me so much inspiration…

    I am not married, but I know one day my husband will come. My Grandparents (on both sides), were married over 50 years. I know God has truly blessed this union. They have given their following generations a standard to live by.

    People say this a lot, but… LIVE, LOVE & LAUGH, is definitely the key to a happy life!!

  3. I believe in Love

    My poem – LOVE IS

    You asked me what Love IS? And I tried to number from 1-10
    And could only think of beginnings that never end and tell you in metaphors and imaginations in my mind of what Love is?

    From the first moment my eyes touched yours I could not help but smile as my lips widened to release the hello hiding behind my tongue and the light breath of relief that followed with the ecstatic charge of your acknowledgment by the nod of your head.

    Your glance still caresses’ my mind as it follows me down colored aisle of promises that I could only see from fields of golden flowers that we laid in as clouds caught our wishes and we stole kisses before taking flight into skies so blue that only a painters wandering mind could have created while preparing a canvass that will stand the test of time so too our love that stretches from year to year like a never ending river that has many bends and turns but always finding a new beginning on the other side.

    Even when you are out of my sight how I smile at the grace and favor
    Bestowed on me when He sent you to me to set me free
    Of my childish games making me strive to do better and to carefully guard your heart
    with new found hands

    So let me define it in words that only my heart can write
    Love Is, Love Is, Love is………Love is

    What I respect is my Granparent’s marriage… my Pop Pop passed 27 years ago and my Grandma never even dated again. I still love to hear her tell stories of him. That’s beyond “death do us part.” That’s infiniti! And that has really earned my respect… I look for it myself (but I know it is rare).

  10. ..Now thats what I’m talking about….UNCONDITIONAL LOVE>>> you have the right glue to keep us together..a KISS will make all the difference…I’m move by the first kiss. If I feel nothing then there will be no fireworks display…lol!!! but I’m very sentimental .. I love the romance ..simple things matters to me. A call. Purchase of a A gesture from a Hall mark Greeting Card. We can disagree to agree.

    That is awesome. I pray I find love like that one day.

    You two bring such hope for a long lasting marriage. I am a newly wed of 4 months and can’t picture my life without my husband. Reading your love story brings more hope and joy to our marriage. My grandparents were married for 54 years before my grandmother passed, and it was so wonderful to see them kiss and hold hands. I pray that my husband and I share as many years together as my grandparents or as the two of you have.

    Thank you for sharing your story, it proves that if two people want to make it work, it will, love will always help you make it..God bless you, your marriage and your family.
