I know a lot of you are watching this thinking that you have never found love like this...some of you feeling like no one has ever made you feel special, appreciated, or wanted. I get it....I know that feeling, but here's what I think, and maybe it will help you dry the tears that come from your heart. Look in the mirror and see the most wonderful and beautiful person looking back at you...look at the person that has done the very best they could thus far...look at the person who is part of the reason why the sun shines as brightly as it does, when it does. Do you see that person???? That person is YOU....that person is the one you should love right now, and when you fall in love with YOU, then guess what happens....everything gets better from that point on.....and hey, you might even find someone to whom you might just share a love like this beautiful couple one day, who knows! If you are single, and can look at yourself in that mirror of yours, and see the beautiful person looking back at you, just know that the greatest love you can give in this life, is love to yourself.....❤
I misunderstood love for a long time. Like alot of people I was influenced early in life to believe love was romantic or things you really liked. But what I found out is that Love is accepting/allowing all things all the time without judgement. This took me a while to process because it meant accepting equally not just the things I liked but also the things I don't like. Love has been misconstrued as an emotion or feeling. Its actually an impersonal acceptance of what is.
I started a project a year ago of looking for women who found this kind of love at 35 or later, some after divorce and domestic violence in other relationships. I talked to 50 women and they've all found this type of love! And they didn't find it early. They found it "later" in life. I've created a RU-vid podcast based on their stories and I have a book of their stories that will come out in September. All of that to say it's not as rare as we think it is to find someone who'll love us deeply and authentically. I encourage you to believe in it for yourself and be open. Blessings to you guys. By the way, this film is so beautiful!
Thank you for sharing what you are doing, so very interesting, touching and encouraging. Wishing you much success with the podcast and book. We are so happy you liked this video with Antony and Margie. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
@@ReflectionsofLife Thank you so much! I love your filmmaking, in addition to the subject matter. It's stunning. How do you find the people you interview?
@todrapayne Thanks so much for your kind words. Some people we simply meet on the street, some are suggested by other people, and some we stumble across while reading articles or watching other videos. We hope that we can share many more inspiring stories with you. 💚
That was my experience as well. Divorce completely transformed my now partner and myself (he is also divorced). I think so much pain taught us both what love really was
My partner and I were together for 36 years. This week I opened a book to find his handwritten list of old garden roses we had and those we wanted to add to the garden. Roses were our shared love. That and sharing wine together in the shady part of the garden as evening approached are what I remember this week. Those memories are both ordinary and extraordinary to me now.
My love....whenever you think of your beautiful partner of 36 years, reach into your pocket and there you will find him reaching right back onto you. Love like the one you both share, never, ever goes away....it is just as strong as ever. Reach in that pocket and feel his love that is still ever present...❤❤
Touching words, thank you for sharing. We are glad that you have these ordinary and extraordinary memories. Sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
These are two people who genuinely enjoy each others' company. Beautiful! This is what I found at 40 and I'm forever grateful for the days I can spend with my man.
Lovely words. We are glad you enjoyed their story and are in a happy relationship yourself. Wishing you many more happy days together. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life. Bob Marley.
Wow,how wonderful, it is what I am reading here and so resonating with how I would have always wanted to be in relationship with others, but most off all with The One... , now becoming older myself hoping this might come true and you know what? I know it will.... Thank you for sharing
@@esleslirons2758 The heart has no wrinkles . we all grow old but we have to see how mature we are . And what matters most is our behavior not the appearance. we never age if we are surrounded by our beloved ones. When we are positive , there is always a fertile ground to blossom again and again.
A rare glimpse of the true meaning of love between a husband and wife. Kindness, Joy, history, calm and peace. Deep gratitude for sharing with us the possibility that it actually has existed in this lifetime.
It’s the ordinary little things that are extraordinary. My husband died a few months ago after 42 years of marriage - I hold onto all the ordinary little things.
Sorry to read about the passing of your husband. Yes, hold on to the ordinary things that become the extraordinary. Wishing you all the strength and comfort you need at this time. Maybe this video can also be helpful: ‘Through The Storm’ - (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tB98ldnUcTE.html). Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Their original interview is one of my favorites on this channel. I love this second one just as much. Beautiful couple. We’ve been married 30 years and I hope for another 30 filled with laughter and endless love.
So happy you enjoyed both videos with Antony and Margie. Glad you enjoy a happy marriage as well. Wishing you another fulfilled and happy 30 years. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Don’t make toast at all or put away the butter… Make a proper bed… watch the sunset each evening… live with each other… but don’t hide behind each other… so you see… it is in fact the simple little things that really do matter most. These two people are lucky to have found each other… and to those that have found something similar… know that you are Blessed… A simple lesson to appreciate the little things in your life… whether together or on your own… and find the beauty in those things and moments that make up your life. Amen 🌎🕊️ 🌜🌞🌛
Love is like building a house. You can design the most fantastic , luxorious palace to live in, promising wonderful times. But it starts with building foundations and then brick by brick build walls and then , as soon as possible , but not before the walls can take it , put a roof on it. And when you move in, all is not done. You need to get used to the layout, or change it along the way. Adapt it to the phases of life. Gradually, when you care for it and maintain it, you and the house become one. And the house will take care of you like you take care of the house. For a lifetime and beyond.
I love how you used a house as an analogy for a loving relationship. I can attest to that after being with my husband 41 years. The "walls" of our home have needed repainting more than a few times, but we think our house is quite special. We're expecting a grandson soon. He'll be or 4th grandchild. We're blessed. But it takes continual effort and is very well worth the time ❤
My husband and I have been married for almost 24 years and have been together 26 years. I'm more in love with him than I was the day I married him. I'll always be.
What is amazing about this story is that they live a rather simple life and yet, they are so rich in understanding their relationship. Very appreciative of what they have achieved together as a couple.
Every time I think of my partner my heart rate is 165 beats per minute-- it’s like a triple beat during one breath… every time I think, reflect, feel, see, laugh or frown-- a huge smile comes over my spirit… even time is now 30 years-- I’ve a gravitational wave which makes me want to be closer to him… that’s what love means to me.❤
In this month may is the birthday of my soulmate-darling. He left the world three years ago after we had been a couple for 42 years. This film is a very special gift to me (and to him post morte). Like him - this couple will be always in my mind. Thank you so much❤Justine & Michael and Margie & Antony
Blessings to you and your wisdom and clarity of the truth of your life blessed by the circumstances of your sharing your love with another person for a long period of time with delight and joy. What a wonderful and special gift ❤
Touching words. We are so thankful that we could share this video with you, that it's such a special gift. Sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
It's an absolute pleasure, so happy you enjoyed it. We appreciate it so much that we could share video of Antony and Margie. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
My wife passed away January this year and we had/have a love like this for 30 years with my beautiful wife Nicky, I believe the love lives on❤ I am living in grief but trying my best to honour her and to live my life and have fun, I know she would want that, she was and still is my everything ❤ rest easy my love
Shew, you words are deep and touching... So thankful that you were/are able to share such love as well. Wishing you strength for every new day. Sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
Know that feeling of the loss of a loved one ...as I took have lost my husband. I live with the memories I had for 20 years with him. That love itself is the sunset and sunshine of my life now.
Oh my heart 🥹❤️. I feel like such a useless human being, due to various health issues, that I’d gladly offer you my life in exchange for the return of your dear wife Nicky. 🙏. It’s just not fair that you should suffer. I can feel your pain. I hope that you are able to find some peace and happiness again, in whatever form that may be, to help ease the grief you endure. With love… x
You guys are so cool, in many ways. I love you both ❣️ Also, speaking of cool, you both look kinda cold, with all your thick clothing, scarves, blankets etc. Can’t you afford heating after all these years, or are you a bit stingy with your power usage LoL ?
This November will be twenty years for us. I also loved both interviews of this couple. Every night we get to watch the sun go down, and we eat together. Recently we witnessed the Eclipse of the Century on the roof of our building. We laugh together, and we sleep together. Every day we have our "afternoon nap" together as well. I buy stuffed animals. There is a menagerie of animals on his desk. I have a collection of some on mine as well. We end each others sentences, we cook each other dinner, we wash each others dishes. And I do the laundry. The Buddha of Compassion has 84,000 hands, which of those are yours ??
Love is this devotion to living with grace and purpose and humor and integrity. It is people like this and the wonderful team of people who bring us these beautiful stories to savor and immerse in! Love is what keeps us from descending into despair and lifts us to the light.
Wow! My favorite quote: "she is my life and my life will continue. Saying she is my life doesn't mean that I have no life without her. Saying she is my life means when she is with me, it's full of her!"
Two very blessed people❤️I lost my soulmate just as we were looking forward to our empty nester years. I like to think we would have grown together in age just like you have. ❤️
We are sad to read that your wife and you grew apart. We trust you are doing ok, wishing you all the best for every new day. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Having mutual respect for one another is the key. This beautiful couple gets it! My husband and I have been married for 27 years and this is us in the future. 'I wish this for everybody' Thank you for sharing Antony and Margie. The most important thing in life is LOVE! ❤
This gives me so much hope. My husband and I never knew how to love one another in rhe ways we each needed to be loved. Our anniversary would have been this Thursday. The way they loved with such intent - just so beautiful and freeing. 💗💗💗
What is the love I have for their style, elegance, radiant skin, emotional cadence, intimacy and kindness they exhibit towards each other here. What a glowing couple! ❤
After years and years of healing, I feel that my heart is beginning to open up again. I am the kind of guy who likes to perceive things rather than analyse. This couple’s sharing brought tears to my eyes. I wish everyone finds the love they seek and that which is best for them.
Loved reading this message, hearing a little bit about your journey towards healing and peace. Thanks for sharing, and also for taking the time to listen to Antony and Margie's story. Warmest of hugs to you. Justine and Michael 💚
I love that he is the one that has talked through this conversation. It shows how happy and content their relationship is ❤️ He is a happy man 😊 This is so sweet.
What a beautiful poem! Brought tears to my eyes. Grateful for this channel, for the two of you and for your love and compassion. 🙏Namaste❤ and blessings
Touching words,. We are glad this video spoke to you deeply, glad we were able to share it with you. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
I really do think having such an evolved, aware and thoughtful man like Antony makes this love possible, so, do very rare to see a man that deeply aware, yes age has given him maturity but I know many women like Margie but very, very few men like Antony... You make it precious and extraordinary cause you are unique...
Such a loving couple. They enjoy one another's company so much, love to laugh together, and are such good friends. Winning combination for a lasting marriage!
I found it almost impossible to watch this couple and not smile. The wisdom they exude is remarkable❤ Once again, the filming of this segment is absolutely stunning. Thank you 💜
You are welcome. Thank you for your kind comment, glad their story made you smile. We also appreciate the encouraging words about the filming. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Sounds like this couple had a well balanced life of communication, time away from each other and that given time and space alone helps to appreciate the other person much more. Probably, like a Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. Worked well together to make a good life. I like the way this man describes his wife, so warm and heartfelt ❤ Thanks for this story......
Hi Janelle , good morning! 🥰 I hope my comment didn’t come across as intrusive. Your words reflect the kindness and beauty of your heart, which moved me to respond. I don’t usually comment, but I believe you truly deserve this compliment. If you’re open to it, I’d love to be friends. Thanks, and God bless you! 🌺🌺🌺
Your videos bring me so much hope in this artificial world that we have today. I am married for almost 20 years & I still crave for this love , this attention, I am losing hope, I will not lie but I am happy we have such couples that give us hope that maybe one day, one day ♥️ sorry I lost words.
Your words go deep... We are glad these videos give you hope. Don't lose that hope, change can happen. Sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
This is so beautiful. I’m so glad I found this video. It really is about finding your best friend who both want the same kind of life now and in the future.
We love knowing that this story stirred your soul. We hope that you also enjoy many of the other films shared on our channel - and with a new release out every two weeks, still so much more to come. Warm hugs. Justine and Michael x
We all have to learn to take the side of peacefulness in our world ❤ Not choosing sides. Just be present with the love of our planet and the many different types of people who are seeking peace and love with kindness and compassion. Stand up for the betterment of our lives with enthusiasm and dedication to live together harmoniously in peace with each other regardless of our differences between us ❤🎉❤🤍🕊🤍❣️💯🫶🙏✌️💙💫🌏🌈❤
I am sooo happy to see another film of this beautiful couple! What an inspiration they both are to the institution of marriage, as it CAN BE. The intent of each, as they listen to each other, is off-the-charts wonderful. Thank you Justine and Michael for all you do to make the world a better place. Blessings to all who watch these films 💖
Thank you so much for all your lovely and encouraging words. We are very thankful that we could share another video of the two of them. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
LOVE exists in all of us and we are all capable of giving to and receiving love from each other ❤ Even in the darkest moments, remember you are indeed LOVED🤗
Such wisdom. Love these 2... commitment... prioritize relationship with each other. Beautiful souls! May you both enjoy many more joyful years together! ❤❤ 👏
@@ReflectionsofLife Thank you very much for your answer. I try every day to be a good man with love. I am sending this message from Paris and I hope that everything goes well for you.🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵 Désolé pour mon Anglais 😉😘
“Ordinary is extraordinary…” thank you for the heart warming wisdom. Loved this video and the way this couple have set intentions throughout their lives together starting with their vows. “May our home be a place where people can accept themselves.” Beautiful couple lovely poem.
You know, some people say gay relationships aren’t natural or a sin. This is exactly what I feel for my wife. Pure, pride, peace, fulfilment, joy. I love her so much.
Trying to undermine other people's connections is a sign of lack within themselves, a fundamental insecurity drives trying to lessen joy in others. We're weird creatures :)
What these two have is not ordinary at all. Such an extraordinary example of love and wisdom and laughter from these two! So glad you followed up on this couple. So sweet.
For me love is a adventurous journey into the loving heart of a soecial person. And then that love goes further into them. But , also out to the world. Its a rare thing but a beautiful thing .
You share beautiful words of advice here, that perfectly echo the messages shared by Antony and Margie in this film. Thanks! Hugs. Justine and Michael. x
This is the second time I have watched this film and, once again, I envy what you two have in each other. I think it is very rare!! In my next life, yes I do plan on coming back, I will have the chance to find true love. Bless you two!!
We are glad their story spoke to you so deeply. And we certainly would wish for you to experience such true love. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="105">1:45</a> "may our home be a place where people can accept themselves" "that we don't hide behind each other"; so beautiful <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="154">2:34</a> well said. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="206">3:26</a> 😂 bless him <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="311">5:11</a> "that doing of it was a wonderful cementing of the relationship" 👌brilliant. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="600">10:00</a> "ordinary is extraordinary". So true! It's the simple things, being present and listening to each other is where the magic is. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="674">11:14</a> - what a sweetheart 🥺
Thank you for another heartfelt video! This couple is genuinely a lovely couple growing older with much wisdom. Relationships are challenging for many but with the right partner or soul mate . It can or will be a forever lasting and unconditional love.
I love your maturity, your love for each other and the realness of the lives you shared with us - stunningly beautiful and may you both continue to be blessed with each other 🙏🏾
For them, it's been wonderful without the children at home because they actually had a solid relationship even before having kids, most people lack that foundation. I wish more people like them existed on the planet!
Oh, that cute couple is back 🤩! I thought they couldn't get any cuter, but I was wrong! Now I can imagine him getting scolded for leaving the butter out and asking himself ... Shall I ever have toast again? Shall I have toast without butter next time? Maybe I should put the butter away? ... and leaves the butter out again next day 😂. But one thing will be for sure: his jokes will make her giggle and forget his flaws! They were made for each other! Aloha & happy weekend from Berlin to you, Justine & Michael ❤🧡💛💚💜
We love your comment, so beautifully written! Glad you enjoy the videos with Antony and Margie so much. Sending you warmest of hugs from South Africa, happy weekend to you as well. Justine and Michael. 💚
How wonderful, They laugh and I am almost moved to tears. Here is what I consider a well lived truely spiritual life full of love light humor and dedicated to their unique common path. You are blessed So am I to enjoy this small episode ❤🙏🌹🌻
Thank you Margie ,Anthony , Justine and Michael ! I'm pleased to see this magically lovely couple back ! The lightness of their words , smile and humour underscores love and wisdom of their marriage life story.What is love ? Everything ! HPL to ALL !
We are so happy that we could share another video of the two of them with you. They have indeed something very special. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
These films are so wonderfully existential. They are some of the best content on the entire internet, I really believe that. Thank you for their creation! And thank you to Antony and Margie for sharing your wisdom from a life well lived (and still being lived!)... I've been greatly touched by both of these films! Thank you!
This is just wonderful. I'm a 19year old guy from Belgium and I've seen their previous video as well. The words they speak are full of wisdom. Their philosophy is brilliant. I myself found my love a little less then a year ago but I know that we have so much love for each other. I wish I could spend a long time with him, God knows if it will be for life. But these kind of videos make me appreciate everything I have, from him to my best friends, to my family. It's these people that make me realise every time how lucky I am and how careful I need to be with others. This video has brought me tears and a big smile at the same time. Thank you for sharing! Love, Jens
We are glad that you enjoyed this video so much. Wishing you all the best and happiness for your own journey through life. Warmest wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
love is learning the ability to let go of the past in favor of a present and future that has the possibility of being better...... not that this is some guarantee, however allowing yourself the ability to forgive (both your past relationships as well as yourself) allows you to envision the better aspect of life.... in the end, love isn't just a feeling, its the biggest choice that you'll ever make in your life......
@@xWabbli if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice..... rush; freewill, permanent waves, 1980..... our perspectives of events (particularly when it pertains to us) all stem from how we see ourselves. if you have a somewhat negative perception, then our choices look off, while having a positive outlook generally provides us with likewise results. I've never suffered from a negative view of myself, so in my 61 years of consciousness I remain optimistic in spite of outside influences.... I'm not saying I never get a flat tire on the way to work in the rain, but those instances don't negatively impact my hour, day, week or month.... I've just never had the time for the negativity.....
Dear Reflections of Life You are making a difference with these videos. 🎉 Since I discovered you I make a habit of watching one each day. Lifts my soul, brings tears to my eyes. Reminds me of what matters.❤ Its like a moral compass that I can follow. Thank you for your hard work and time that you invested in the making of these videos… Love from Hungary
A big Thank You. Your words mean a lot to us. It touches us greatly that you watch one video a day and that the messages the people share give you so much. Lovely to have you with us on this journey. Sending you warmest of hugs from South Africa, Justine and Michael. 💚
