Nightly Ritual That Keeps This Couple’s Love Alive After 68 Years

The Power of a Nightly Serenade

Every night, just before bed, Don sits beside Marilyn and begins to sing. His song of choice? “Unforgettable”—a melody that perfectly captures the devotion they share. This tradition started 50 years ago, and Don quickly realized it had a special effect.

A Tradition That Never Falters

Their son, Doug, confirms that this tradition never skips a night.

“Whether they’re here, in a hotel room, or even in the hospital, it doesn’t matter. I’m not aware that they ever miss it,” he says.

Even when Marilyn fell and broke her hip, Don didn’t miss a single night of singing to his beloved.
