Hello, friends in #hive.
It's quite complicated for a man to think about marriage at the age of 71, if you look at it from a cold, biological perspective. However, I've always been a hopeless romantic. A romantic quite marked by romanticism. So if I reach this age and my wife agrees to marry me, then I'll get married.
It doesn't have to be at 71. It could be sooner. Or even later.
I don't think age matters when it comes to marriage. Romantic in the end, I find the idea of still being very happy emotionally and physically with the woman I love at the age of 71 beautiful. That would mean more than 30 years of relationship, which makes me doubly happy.
There's another aspect that I think almost no one has talked about, and I mean the fact that I don't understand why people would deny the possibility of love in old age.
The parents of a friend in my neighborhood were married for more than 50 years, and at almost 80 years old, they continued to maintain their active sex life.
Of course not with the passion, intensity, and regularity of youth, I imagine. But they continued to love each other, desire each other, and see each other as beautiful until death did them part.
Since I learned their story, I saw myself reflected in them. At least, I saw the reflection of what I would like to be at 71 years old.
Even if my physique isn't the same at 71, it doesn't mean there isn't love and everything that entails.
Conversation, companionship, affection, and even sex have no expiration date. We'll be enjoying it until we leave this world.

Hola, amigas en #hive.
Para un hombre es bastante complicado pensar en matrimonio a la edad de los 71, si uno lo mira fría y biológicamente. Sin embargo, yo siempre he sido un romántico empedernido. Un romántico bastante marcado por el romanticismo. Por lo que en el caso de que llegue esta edad y mi mujer acepte casarse conmigo, pues me caso.
No tiene que ser a los 71. Puede ser antes. O incluso, podría ser después. La edad no creo que importe en lo que respecta al matrimonio. Romántico al fin, me parece hermosa la idea de seguir siendo muy feliz emocional y físicamente al lado de la mujer que amo a la edad de los 71 años. Eso conllevaría a más de 30 años de relación de pareja, cosa que me hace doblemente feliz.
Hay otro aspecto del que creo que casi nadie ha hablado, y me refiero al hecho de que no entiendo por qué negar la posibilidad de amar durante la tercera edad. Los padres de una amiga de mi barrio, estuvieron casados por más de 50 años y casi con 80 de edad, continuaban manteniendo su vida sexual activa.
Por supuesto que no con la fogosidad e intensidad y regularidad de la juventud, me imagino. Pero continuaban queriéndose, deseándose y viéndose hermosos hasta que la muerte los separó.
Desde que conocí su historia me vi reflejado en ellos. Al menos, ví el reflejo de lo que quisiera ser a los 71 años de edad.
Incluso, aunque el físico no sea el mismo a los 71, no quiere decir que no haya amor y todo lo que eso conlleva. La conversación, la compañía, el cariño y también el sexo no tiene fecha de caducidad. Lo vamos a estar disfrutando hasta que dejemos este mundo.

Qué bien, hermano! Gracias por estar siempre! Abrazos.
Completamente de acuerdo contigo!!! Amar a toda costa y en todo momento!!
It's actually great when you're with your partner till old age and still maintain your love life
I admire marriages that last beyond 25 years. They are special and many young aspiring couples need to learn from those successful couples the 'Secret' to a lasting relationship let alone making it to 71 years of age. You are the role model for you children for a successful relationship. Thanks for sharing @abelarte !LADY
