A actress Barbara Norton de Matos made a new publication on her Instagram page talking about relationships, but this time from the perspective of her grandmother, who was married for a lifetime.
At the age of 92, the actress's grandmother shared her opinion about her relationships today and left her secret to a lasting union.
“I don’t know why [the relationships today don’t give], but i think it's the mentality now. Things change“, he began by introducing, remembering after that “it took him to meet” the late husband and that he came to “put him down” at the beginning.
“ These days, you know each other, and soon after you're together. And I think it's fast. Even when we're married for a long time, we'll get to know each other, get to know each other. And I think there's more sense of forgiveness. These days, the littlest thing, we go our separate ways. There's no wedding without trouble. There isn't! There are difficult times, very difficult, but there is something that unites us ", he added.
And the secret to a lifelong marriage? “First, one knows that one will never change the other. When I met my husband, your grandfather, I felt I was the man of my life. I've had a lot of suitors, lots of flirts. When I met him, I came home and said, "This is the man I'm marrying, this is the man I want to have children with. And I went from mother”, shared.
“ There were also difficult times, I wanted to give up. Each one evolves. There are beginning to be disagreements. These disagreements, the first thing, never stop talking to each other. Openly telling the truth. Even if the truth hurts. Because it hurts. [I heard] many [truth that hurt]. I was always able to forgive. I think as much as you want equality these days, the man is a different being than a woman. Completely different. Everything. In sex, in everything ", highlighted also.
“ The man can even have an adventure and say nothing. And a woman has this adventure, she says a lot. I never wanted to try that. Because I knew I would ruin my marriage if I fell in love again,” he continued.
“ Yes, you even have [a physical attraction to another person]. But as I was also for my husband, even at his age, he attracted me. He also said the same thing. “I see women, but no one is like you”. And that was enough. It's not easy. My marriage wasn't all good. But it was good. I only remember the good things“, he completed.
