50 Years of Learning to Give and Take

Max and Barbara Winfield have just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with friends and family.

Max, and Barbara met 54 years ago at a local dance. According to Max, Barbara was the prettiest girl there. They were married a four years later in South Melbourne and honeymooned in Sydney.

Max said the key to a successful marriage was to give and take.

“You have to be willing to share everything and be prepared to give a little and take a little,” he said.

It is sad to think that reaching 50 years of marriage is quite rare these days.
The problem in today's marriages young people have expectations that are too high and it puts a strain on their relationships.

"The past 50 years has been an adventure for us," said Max, and Barbara .

“I was on the lookout at the dance for a prospective wife and it was pretty much love at first sight,” he said.

Mr Winfield, 72, and his wife, 71 say they will be together, forever.
