HEARTS GROW FONDER
By MICHELLE GABRIELLE CENTAMORE
Think healthy, happy, everlasting love is an impossible dream? For these Long
Island sweethearts, love has been in the air for decades and grows stronger every
day. Through many a marriage milestone, these couples discovered how to make
their marriages something to celebrate for a lifetime.
Thomas and Felicia Staub, of Levittown, were married April 13, 1975, five years
after their first date. The Staubs say their different faiths did not initially earn
them blessings by their families but their love for one another prevailed. With two
children and three grandchildren, the Staubs advise always making your love a
priority.
“Put each other first,” they agree. “Never go to bed angry.” To “keep the fires lit,”
the Staubs have renewed their vows twice and gone on three honeymoons, says
Felicia Staub.
