Marriage – 73 Years of Wisdom
Barbara “Cutie” Cooper knows a little something about marriage – as well she should after being married for 73 years! With the help of her granddaughters, she tells her story in Fall in Love for Life – Inspiration from a 73-Year Marriage. And what a fun story it is!
Full of humor, wisdom, tips for practical living and (what was at one time) common 
sense, this book makes a great gift for weddings, anniversaries, and sweetheart holidays.
Each chapter ends with a section called “Cutie’s Counsel” – succinct, and surprisingly timeless advice, that can be appreciated by everyone from somebody just starting to date to long-time married couples. If you like hanging out with someone who ‘calls it like they see it,’ grab a cup of coffee and spend an afternoon with Cutie Cooper.
Here’s a few of her nuggets of wisdom:

This sounds like a fun read and the ones you listed are genuine gold nuggets, Shel! I particularly ‘warmed’ to the idea of a pot of sense of humor! This is helpful in all relationships, married or not! Smiles, Robin
It really is a fun read, Robin – common sense + a talent for turning a memorable phrase!
Love this Shel! Sounds like a delightful read that would be great for newlyweds or “oldieweds” like me (ha)!
You would love it, Kay! It’s written with an attitude we can both relate to!
Wow, it sounds fabulous. What a great project, too, for her family.
Spoken like somebody who knows what it’s like to collaborate with a family member, Luanne!
Thanks for sharing this, Shel. It looks like a fun and cute read! Seventy-three years, that’s awesome!
Can you imagine?? I’ve only got 36 to go – which makes me half-way there!
sounds delightful from someone that should know…
It will put a smile on your face, Lin!
