our couples in Middlefield who have been married over 50 years were asked what the secret of their long life together is and what advice they would give to young couples Lee and considering marriage today. Here are their Jeanne answers. Speck Arlin and Clara Becker have been married 55 years. Their secret is good health and being able to forgive one another. Their advice is to make sure you can pay the bills. Ed and Naomi Pollari have been married 57 years. They married young, at ages 19 and 21 and have never considered ending their marriage. They feel faith in God and love for each other helped them survive times of disappointment and the many issues facing a married couple. They advise that couples consider their vows seriously as a life commitment, trust and respect one another, express their love openly, be ready to apologize, look for blessings in life, pray together and remember that tomorrow the sun will shine (even in northeast Ohio).
