Relationships Thrive On Gratitude
Valentine’s Day has passed, but love re- mains in the air. I’ve received so many beautiful words of gratitude from more of Hawai‘i’s couples who would like to celebrate and recognize their partners with a love-filled “mahalo nui.”
“We thought the other was perfect before we married; now we know it’s not so. We are grateful for forgiveness, respect and laughter.”
Cha Ku‘upua‘ala Thompson and Papali’ itele Tihati Jack Thompson Married 55 years Hawai‘i Kai
“I am thankful for Glenn for making me believe in a happier world, for loving me so much, for holding my hand in the toughest times and being the love of my life.
municating with each other with no restrictions is the panacea for a successful and happy marriage. When anger creeps in, always kiss and make up.”
Lilian and Irenio Paulo Married 70 years Waikele
“We are so grateful that our faith and commitment to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has kept our union solid, and we find so much joy in the blessings of our union, our children and grandchildren.”
Kathy Paulo-Hirai and George Hirai Married 39 years ‘Ewa Beach
“What we are both most thankful for in our relation- ship is the constant display of appreciation for each other, the ability to share our feelings through open communication and positive affirmations of love.”
Zenelle and Brandon Hinsey Married five years Hawai‘i Kai
“We’re grateful to have given each other the gift of time to grow our love, raise a family, support each other’s dreams and share a wonderful life.”
Jerri Chong and Ronald Doi Married 40 years Mililani
“I am truly grateful to share 38 years with my high school sweetheart, Brad, who is the love of my life.
“I am most grateful for my wife Sheryl’s graciousness and forgiveness. She is the reason for our 26-year happy marriage.”
Wes Hara Mililani
