6: Secrets to 70 Years of Marriage with my Grandparents

I am thrilled to have my grandparents, Allen and Mary Ann Nichols as my guests for episode 6 of Talk with Tori podcast!

Today is their 70th wedding anniversary – what a milestone!!!  

My grandparents are in their 90s and have been married 70 years, so they have many life experiences.  They share stories from their childhood, careers, and advice for marriage and parenting.  My Grandpa and Grandma have always brought me so much wisdom over the years, and I cannot wait for you to learn from them, too.  They discuss simple things that they do to show each other they care.  Life will be difficult, but it is all about how you handle it while learning and growing along the way.

Grandpa and Grandma tell the story about the hardest time of their life when their son (my Uncle Darrell) was injured at a young age, and the difficult decisions that this brought to their lives.  They both are open about what is important in life and how they have kept a strong marriage and family.  My grandparents explain that partnership is about commitment, investment, and always doing more than you need to.  Grandpa and Grandma also share about the gift of family, time together, and how to welcome others.  

Whether you are single, a newlywed, or married for 70 years like they have been, this episode will inspire you, bring an appreciation for others in your life, and make you want to be a better person.

My grandmother’s recommendations as a teacher for 42 years:

Every child needs to be on a stage.

Every child needs to attend an out of state field trip.
