If you’ve heard of Mary Maxwell, you probably know what to expect—funny and honest thoughts about getting older. If you haven’t, Mary is famous for her dry sense of humor and hilarious take on aging. In her video series called Laughing with Mary, she answers questions from people about life and growing older.
Today’s question comes from Sharon in Santa Fe. Sharon says her granddaughter is getting married this summer. She wants to know the secret to a happy marriage so she can share it with the bride and groom. And who better to ask than Mary Maxwell? 😛
“That’s a wonderful question, Sharon,” Mary begins. “It’s hard because we promise to stay together ‘til death do us part…” Then she delivers her classic punchline. Only Mary could say it like that! 😀
Mary shares that she and her husband just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. They were both surprised to make it that far—especially since the first 10 years weren’t exactly easy!
So, what is Mary’s top tip for a happy marriage? She gives an answer that comes straight from her heart—and it’s also pretty funny, just like you’d expect!
