There's no better relationship to idolize than one that began in the 1950s—a time of pure romance and unquestionable commitment. I still get chills every time my grandfather and grandmother refer to each other as "hon." I admire how much they care for each other, and prove everyday that true love exists. The following are the lessons that my grandparents long-lived relationship have taught me about love and life:

It is possible to be in love with the same person your entire life.

One look and you think. One touch and you know. That's it. They're the one (at least for the time being). More than likely it takes a few of these moments to get it right. Several first dates, a few romance rushes, and a couple of regrets. We love until we lose. And then we fall even harder again. The cycle repeats as we question if it even was love in the first place. It probably wasn't, right? We doubt the "once in a lifetime love" nonsense, disbelieving such a thing can even happen.

But it is possible to find one love that lasts a lifetime. The kind that makes your heart race for sixty constant years. The kind you grow with. The kind that makes you a better person in every aspect. The kind that you could not imagine ever letting go of. Yes, it is more than possible to be head over heels in love with the same person your entire love.

You don't need social media to prove your love for someone.

Love is not measured by the amount of Instagram likes a couple receives on their picture. A connection does not grow stronger as virtual admirers expand. Be your own number one fans. Obsess over each other. To this day, my grandparents still do not own a computer, yet still love harder than any couple I've seen. They put their focus on each other, and not the publicity they'll receive for their actions. You don't need outside opinions to validate your feelings. And you certainly don't need social media to prove your love for someone.

"For better or for worse...till death do us part" actually exists.

When the going gets tough, true lovers keep going. Struggle brings them closer. Conflict leads to resolution. Settled disputes result in a stronger bond and deeper affection. Above all, no matter the circumstance, love conquers. Nothing said or done can pull true lovers apart. My grandparents are eternally stuck together like glue. "For better or for worse...till death do us part" truly does exist.

Above all, my grandparents unconditional, reciprocated love has manifested all that I hope to find in a relationship and more.

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." -Corinthians 13:4-8
