A LOVE THAT’S LASTED FOR FIFTY YEARS
Is there a key to true love? Norm and Jean Sell are about to celebrate their fiftieth wedding anniversary.
Max Murdoch asked them for their secret.
12 February 2006
Max: So, how long have you known each other?
Norm: We’ve known each other for almost 52 years.
Jean: Norm! We’ve known each other for more than 52 years. We met in 1953!
Max: How long have you been married, then?
Jean: We’ve been married since 14 February 1956. Valentine’s Day.
Max: Have you lived here since then?
Jean: Not exactly. We’ve lived in Stretford since the wedding, but not in this house.
Norm: No, we’ve only been here for sixteen years.
Jean: Eighteen years, Norm. We’ve lived in this house for eighteen years. Since 1988.
Max: How did you meet?
Norm: Well, I used to be a policeman. I retired ten years ago … And Jean was the waitress in my local I.
Jean: It was love at first sight.
Max: So, what’s your secret for a successful relationship?
Jean: I think you have to fall in love many times – always with the same person.
Max: Have you ever fallen out?
Norm: We’ve had a few little arguments, but we haven’t had a serious argument for years.
Jean: No, not since Christmas Day 1977. Remember you …
Norm: We have a simple rule – if one of us is angry, we always try to sort it out before we say goodnight.
Max: One last question – have you got any regrets?
Norm: I’m just sorry I didn’t marry Jean earlier.
Jean: And I’ve never regretted a single day.
