After all they've gone through and you see them look at each other with so much love, and it's a different kind of love than what you see with the younger people today, I think it's the "real" committment. It just melts my heart....

I completely agree. My grandparents have been married for 56 years. Even now, there are some days I can tell that they really just don't like each other. But you know what...they're still married. And I feel like my mom and her siblings and us grandchildren are better off for it. It really gives me the hope that no matter what my marriage faces, I have made a commitment and I am not giving up on it just because one day I wake up and think that I don't love this person anymore. My grandmother has always told me that love is a choice, not a feeling.
