True love never dies, nor does it age. When love is true and real, it can last forever. Though the media shows us that almost half the marriages in the U.S. end in divorce causing many to be disillusioned into thinking that true love is just something you hear about in storybooks and fairy tales, real love not only exists but it lasts.
Unfortunately, we often see negativity in the media when it comes to love and marriage. But true love is out there whether we see it in the media or not. There are plenty of couples who’ve been married for decades without ever divorcing or splitting up.
And the photos of these 15 lovey-dovey couples prove it.
1) Lasting Love Means Big Smooches
