They had been penned by her\u00a0grandfather to her grandmother during World War II. &#8222;I had never looked at my grandfather as anything other than my grandfather,&#8221; says Lauren. &#8222;And I had always regarded him as old-fashioned because of the generational gap, but in reading the letters I suddenly saw him as a young man in love. I could relate to him, and all the generational boundaries were erased.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The letters inspired Lauren, a photographer, to document the <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/3-lessons-learned-from-70-years-of-love\/\" target=\"_blank\">love stories of other older couples<\/a>, and so she began to interview and photograph what ended up being 100 couples\u2014straight and gay, of every race, from different countries\u2014all with one thing in common: They had been together more than 50 years. In one case, as long as 80 years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI tried not to have expectations. If you go in with expectations then you often don\u2019t get to see what is really going on,\u201d says Lauren. \u201cI suppose I thought I may learn the secret to everlasting love\u2014but I realized there is no one formula or secret.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8222;Over the years, you think of love differently.&#8221;\u00a0\u2013 Sulie Spencer<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The universal theme that did come from the interviews, she says, was one of passion. Although perhaps not as society typically imagines passion. &#8222;We can think of passion as only for the young, or for the beginnings of relationships, but I learned that this is not the case,&#8221; says Lauren. Hence she\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.laurenfleishman.com\/personal\/loveeverafter\/loveeverafter1.php\" target=\"_blank\">called her book <\/a>of photographs and interviews,\u00a0<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/The-Lovers-Lauren-Fleishman\/dp\/9053308369\" target=\"_blank\">The Lovers<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>As the stories illustrate,\u00a0many of the couples began their relationships in a period of history vastly different to now. Some met during, or post, World War II, in an era when same-sex relationships were forbidden, and parts of the United States were still racially segregated. While the times have changed, the advice about relationships that the couples have to offer will never fade. &#8222;It is relevant here and now,&#8221; says Lauren.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some reflections from the interviews that Lauren shared with <em>Wanderlust<\/em>, with words\u00a0from the couples themselves:<\/p>\n<h3>Love doesn\u2019t notice aging.<\/h3>\n<p><em>&#8222;You don\u2019t really think about getting older &#8230; Like you don&#8217;t notice, oh you&#8217;re getting a little wrinkle here and tomorrow you say it&#8217;s a little deeper \u2026 I mean. I\u2019m not thinking every day, &#8216;Oh my husband is 83 years old, he\u2019s gonna\u2019 be 84, oh my goodness, I\u2019m married to an old man!&#8217; And I hope he feels that way too.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Angie Terranova, married to Gino since 1947<\/p>\n<h3>Love evolves.<\/h3>\n<p><em>&#8222;Over the years, you think of love differently. When you\u2019re younger it&#8217;s the way they walk, the way they talk. The way he holds my hand. But after sickness and strokes and different things, you\u2019re just glad he\u2019s able to hold your hand. That he gets up in the morning and says good morning. You begin to <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/ahimsa-practicing-love-in-action\/\" target=\"_blank\">see love<\/a> through different eyes because the eyesight got dimmer anyway. I think love is like anything else. They say wine is better with age. That\u2019s the way love is. It&#8217;s better because you appreciate little things&#8230;.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Sulie Spencer, married to James since 1962<\/p>\n<h3>Falling in love does not happen just once.<\/h3>\n<p><em>\u201cBut what\u2019s really amazed me as I\u2019ve moved into our 60th year is how many, many, many times I\u2019ve fallen in love with him over and over again.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Eric Marcoux, committed to Eugene Woodworth since 1953<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_35669\" class=\"thumbnail alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/live-wanderlust-fest.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Yevgeniy-and-Lyubov-Kissin-married-since-1941.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-35669 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/live-wanderlust-fest.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Yevgeniy-and-Lyubov-Kissin-married-since-1941.jpg\" alt=\"Yevgeniy and Lyubov Kissin married since 1941\" width=\"1404\" height=\"796\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Yevgeniy-and-Lyubov-Kissin-married-since-1941.jpg 1404w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Yevgeniy-and-Lyubov-Kissin-married-since-1941-768x435.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Yevgeniy-and-Lyubov-Kissin-married-since-1941-992x562.jpg 992w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1404px) 100vw, 1404px\" \/><\/a><div class=\"caption\">Yevgeniy and Lyubov Kissin married since 1941.<\/div><\/div>\n<h3>Relationships require commitment.<\/h3>\n<p><em>\u201c&#8230;in today\u2019s world, sad to say, I see so many young people give up.

Maybe sort of tranquil. It&#8217;s easygoing. Exciting love I wouldn&#8217;t be able to tell you about. I don&#8217;t know what it&#8217;s like.
