To mark the start of Pride Month, Fox 5 NY is celebrating love by speaking with three LGBTQ couples—each of which has been together more than a quarter of a century—to find out what it takes to make love last.
"I'll be cooking dinner," says Jim Skelly, "and Warren will come down, and the next thing, you know, we're kind of doing a dance in the kitchen. It's just it makes us laugh."
"Warren got up to go to the restroom, and a while later I did," Skelly said. "And above the urinals in the bathroom, there was a chalkboard and I looked up and it said, ‘Jim, I'm so glad I met you.’ And after that, that was it."Cathy and Sheila Marina-Thomas say completing a task together—even something as simple as finishing a puzzle—is one element that’s helped their relationship, now in its 27th year, remain just as strong as ever.
"I actually had some struggles," William says, "Because, you know, Joseph is used to doing his thing his way without any questions… Just doing it.""[William] looks at it from a more operational standpoint where ‘A’ plus ‘B’ equals ‘C,’ whereas I look at ‘A,’ and then I go straight to ‘Z.’Getting to the same place and staying there takes work.
"I think you also have to realize you're not going to like each other every day, and it's okay," Cathy adds. "I mean, you're going to get up with this person every day. So some days you're just going to be like, ‘I don't feel like dealing with you today.’ And it's okay. It doesn't-- it's not a rejection of the other person.
