More and more people are meeting and loving later in life. Dating in the digital world is a whole different and often baffling experience from what we grew up with. So much is radically different from texting, sexting, ghosting, and not to mention the whole idea of digital trust. It is a whole new world out there, yet so many of our people are navigating it, finding love and coupling later in life. “How They Met” is a series dedicated to illuminating their stories.
When did you meet?
We first met casually in 2002. Then we re-met in 2007 at an event held by the same friend who originally fixed us up. Something clicked. Timing is everything.
Where did you meet?
We met because a mutual friend fixed us up. We met at her house for lunch.
What were you thinking before you met? Were you looking for someone to be with?
What were your first impressions?
Where/when were you married?
3 1/2 years ago we became Domestic Partners so we officially moved in together even though we had been living together but maintain 2 households.
Is this the sort of person you were expecting to be with?
I am thin-skinned and hurt easily so then I get defensive!
What would you say one of his is?
How are the two of you different?
What is the best thing about your relationship?
How do you spend your weekends together?
What is the best relationship advice you have received or given?
Love this!
Well well well , that is very good news and more importantly hopeful. I am at the point of praying there is life on Mars and maybe I can find a partner there, as Earth has proven manless in the last few years.
Talk about creativity, imagination and depth! These two have it all.
Companionship is a great thing when it works. Rapport!
Jim and I cherish the time(s) we spend together with you two…interesting, inspiring, easy, and comfortable…what more can you ask?! I’ve always said it’s a gift when you can find another couple where all 4 people play well together!
Such a joy to see you so happy and lovingly matched. With love. Bobbi
I love this couple so much. They are the coolest and a perfect match.
You two are such fun to be around and such an inspiration to those of us just a few steps behind! Love, April and Jim
What a magnificent couple..so full of life and creativity. It is such a pleasure to look at these photos and daydream. Who would have the courage to choose to look like this except us aging folks who still play in life and understand age is only one more chapter. Congratulations Stan and Deborah!!!!
Love, love this! ❤️
Oh you two are great—Joy, playfulness, beauty! Seeing your photos grants me more freedom of my own expression as an artist, an individual, and loving all that in the people I hold dear. Thank you both!
