Senior Love Stories: Lasting Marriages at Benedictine Living Community-La Crosse
February is a month devoted to love with Valentine’s Day, Heart Health Month, and a beautiful time to celebrate the senior love stories that continue to inspire us every day.
At Benedictine Living Community-La Crosse, we are honored to be home to couples whose marriages have lasted decades. These relationships reflect commitment, resilience, friendship, and deep connection—proof that love doesn’t fade with time; it grows richer.
We asked several couples in our community a simple question:
“What does it take to stay married for so long?”
Their reflections offer wisdom worth sharing.
Leatryce & Neal — Married 75 Years
Leatryce and Neal have been married 75 years and are still showing us what true love looks like. Their advice for a great marriage? “Patience, give and take, and common sense!” We couldn’t agree more!
Evie & Bob
For Evie and Bob, laughter and mutual respect have been essential. Finding joy in everyday moments and approaching life with a sense of humor has helped keep their bond strong. What holds them together is trust and respect. Evie suggests you listen to the song Picture from Life’s Other Side.
Beth & Dwayne
Beth and Dwayne navigate life through their commitment to doing what’s best for the other person. They support each other as they face challenges and find joy in the little things! Bob suggests Beth is a good listener and they treat each other with respect.
Celebrating Love and Life Together
These senior love stories remind us that there’s no single formula for a long marriage. What they share is a foundation of respect, trust, patience, and genuine connection.
At Benedictine Living Community-La Crosse, assisted living allows couples to continue their story together in a supportive, caring environment—one that encourages independence while providing peace of mind.
