Bernard and Syldonia Moses celebrate 54 years of marriage

Any lesser man would have given up. After personal letters and letters to family went unanswered most men would probably have hung up and called it a day.

But he is not like most men and he was determined to make her his bride.

Today (August 20) Bernard and Syldonia Moses are celebrating 54 years of what they described as a “fulfilled marriage.”

Their story began back in 1957 close to the Public Library on Victoria Street in Roseau. She was coming from a Way of the Cross service with some other friends when she first met the man that would be her companion for over half a century.

But things were a bit complicated that evening because there was another young man who wanted to have a chat with her. “But I knew he (the young man) was not serious, so I just left him and he (Moses) came in between and the other young man went away,” Syldonia recalled with a hearty laugh, “And that is how it started.”

Although they had met and exchanged a few words, the path to winning the heart of his future bride proved to be a difficult task.

“At that time people used to write, so he wrote to me,” she stated. “But I did not write back, I fought back.”

Undaunted, Moses thought writing to her family would probably open a window of opportunity for him. But that too did not work out as expected.

Not the kind of man to give up easily, he decided to make his quest to win the heart of Syldonia a bit more personal.

She is originally from Grand Fond and had moved to Roseau to live with an aunt, so Moses thought the best thing to do was to speak directly to the aunt of his intention.

Things began taking shape then and after much persistence Syldonia finally gave in because by then she was convinced he was a good man. “He was and is a good man, a little bit troublesome, but a good man,” she stated.

And so on August 20, 1959, before family and friends, the two made the vow to love each other for the rest of their lives at the Roman Catholic Cathedral in Roseau.

Moses remembers the day as if it were yesterday. “It was a Thursday,” he stated. “I remember it distinctly. In those day Thursdays were half day or merchant’s half day. That was the day we got married. We had the reception at the home of Desmond Letang on Virgin Lane. I can remember all that man.”

He said at the receptions thing began a ‘bit slow’ and determined not to let this put a damper on the best day of this life, he rolled up his sleeves and took over the bar.

“All the special guests I brought them a bottle of scotch, gave them a glass and I told them all they have to ask for is ice,” he stated. “Instead of pouring in glass and all that slow thing, I was not in that.”

Is there a secret to a long marriage? “You have to put God in the center first,” Moses, a devout Catholic, said. “Once you have the Lord in the center, no matter how difficult things appear, they will patch up.”

His wife agreed. “You have to pray, you always have to pray,” she said.

Additionally, the couple pointed out, married couples should always do things together. “We went to church together, we went to parties together, we share the responsibilities together,” Moses said. “I never let her take care of the children alone. We did everything together.”

Moses noted that their 54 years have not always been ‘rosy.’ “Sometimes things were so tough, we had to cut an exercise book in two to give the children,” he stated.

But there were many highlights, especially the birth of their children; all nine of them. “Whenever they were born, that made us feel good and very happy,” he noted.

In any relationship, Moses noted there are quarrels and misunderstandings but stated they should not last long. “It takes two to make a quarrel, so when  things get heated, one of them must stop,” Moses said. “Most times I stop, I just get out of the house so that it doesn’t escalate.”

Today Moses is visually impaired but the couple goes to church at the Holy Spirit Chapel in Loubriere every Sunday and they still do practically everything together.

When asked to reflect on their lives as a married couple they said it has has been ‘very fulfilling’ and both vowed that if they could do it all over again, they would.

    Congratulations Granny and Daddy! When I heard that you two were on DNO, “I frighten”, but was quickly relieved to see that it was about your 54 years of marriage! That is a VERY VERY long time! Some people do not live to see 54 years of life, but you have surpassed that with a marriage. Wonderful! I intend to break your record. :wink: God is good al the time! I am extremely blessed and honored to be part of the Moses family and to be your first grand child! Nuff love![“Dewo/Set-up/Deh-doh-run/”]

    we just want to say thank you to DNO for putting our story online . We hope it has motivated most of you who have read it to be married for as long as we . Again thank you to all for your wonderful comments :-D from Bernard and Syldonie

    CONGRATULATIONS BERNARD AND SYLDONIA MOSES!

    Your story is a wonderful testimony to the goodness of our Lord and an example of all that is right, wholesome, and honorable.

    By embracing the traditional Biblical family values of love, marriage, and children you have become an example of all that is good and proper in your nation, and a role model to the next generation. May many follow in your steps.

    It was a blessing to read the testimonies of your children at such a time. You have given them a heritage. May God’s richest blessing rest upon you and them!

    You are an awesome family!

    Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Pentecostal Evangelist. (A citizen and resident of Canada. An avid reader of DNO.)

    DNO This is a record breaking story. It says a lot about our love and its magical powers. That is a superlative couple. The Catholic church Marriage Encounter ( M E ) should use the example and expertise of these people to mold others and they should be honored by the Fatima Parish/ Church for such a exemplary life.

    It is amazing how overwhelming the response has been so few THUMPS DOWN—-that’s a record in itself.

    I LOVE MY NEWTOWN PEOPLE !!!!

    • August 21, 2013

      :lol: We have Marriage Encounter (ME) in Canada and it is an excellent presentation. :-o

      I was aware that there is a Catholic version of this program – Catholic Marriage Encounter (ME) – but had no idea it was being used outside of Canada and the USA. 8-O

      Pastors and priests who make ME available to their congregations and communities are showing that they truly want what is best for the people. They deserve support. :-P

      Yes, Bernard and Syldonia Moses should be featured at an ME presentation and honored in their church. They have something to say. This is what we all want the younger generation to see!

      Blessings!

      Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Pentecostal Evangelist.

    Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Moses. I don’t know you personally but know some of your children who are equally wonderful like their parents with a great sense of humor. The only place I see this couple is in church, always praising God, always praying a for others, you guys deserve additional abundance of blessings as you are living testimony to married life and good Christians.

    Congratulations! I pray that God will continue to bless you and the entire Moses family. To my grandparents, you two are ideal role models. Granny, you are so soft spoken and have taught me to be humble and Grandpa, you have taught me to stand firmly by my beliefs. May I one day be able to grow in love for as long as you two. Love you always.

    Happy 54th Anniversary to Mr. and Mrs. Moses. Such a great inspiration to all. I live in Canada now but as a young girl living in Newtown, I would always see them walking together. Rarely would you see them apart. She was always so patient with a smile on her face especially when he stopped to talk (and talk he did). He always had his BIG bible in his hand or tucked under his arm. God’s blessings to you both.

    • August 21, 2013

      Please excuse me for coming back again. But the more I review all these wonderful comments I more I see that stirs me. 8-O

      Testimonies from both children and grandchildren. Absolutely awesome! :lol:

      The role the church can play in keeping couples together and building families should be emphasized more. :idea: Just going to church together and praying together has obviously contributed to the well being of Bernard and Syldonia Moses.

      But T.O. what really struck me in your comments was simply this. :roll:

      For a long time I have been convinced that just being together is so important. Spending TIME together is so constructive. Going to EVENTS together, walking the ROAD of LIFE together, being SEEN together nurtures the marriage relationship, and sends out the message our world need :!:

      And T.O. I can’t resist saying this. I think that BIG Bible you saw Bernard carrying had something to do with their 54 happy years!

      Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Pentecostal Evangelist.

      Hello Summes,
      Congratulations to your parents Mr. & Mrs Moses.
      Having known them for almost all of my life I can echo that Mr. & Mrs Moses are indeed a couple that love and fear God, and as a result have honored God’s instructions for a lasting marriage.
      “Ma Moses” is very quiet however she was always kind and gracious to me whenever I visited their home.
      I still fondly remember Mr. Moses giving me a ride to school in his “litte blue car” and instructing Summes and I about good behaviour and Fearing God.
      Cheers to you both MR. & MRS Moses for continued health and many more satisfied years in your marriage.

    Thanks DNO.

    I had quite forgotten today is my parents’ 54th wedding anniversary. I learnt some of the details of their early courtship from this article. I was one of the recipients of the cut exercise books and the divided pencil as well.

    Congrats to you mum and dad! You raised us well. You taught us humility and to love and respect every person, irrespective of colour, class, or creed. You also taught us to love God fervently. Dad you taught us further to stand up for justice and our rights. You taught me personally to have confidence in myself and I first learnt the art and science of leadership by observing you in your several roles as the leader of various church and social groups. You taught me the joy and blessing of service.

    Marcelin and I shall be celebrating 22 years of marriage on August 31 because of God’s grace but also because we have you, mum and dad, as great examples. May we endeavour to continue to pass on those values to our two sons, Denny and Marlon.

    I would not have any other parents. What a gift God has blessed us 9 children with! Glory to God’s wonderful name!

      Congrats to you Paul. Society definitely need the institution of marriage and most definitely we need families to reinstall the good old values – honesty, truth, respect humility and accountability. Now a days it is so easy for us to condone the things that we know to be morally wrong and to despise what is right.

    Are these Sylma’s parents? whow! A true testimony that if two people invest in a relationship, there will always be returns. It has to be both with grace from our Heavenly Father!!! God’s continued blessings to Mr and Mrs Moses and I hope that we, the younger ones, can take a leaf from your book of success. Congratulations!!

We can have many many years too if you open your heart to me. Too beautiful, sweet and intelligent to be alone, I’m stepping my game up. Woman I love you since you were in CHS. I’m not giving up. Now smile. Fawoosh

    To my friends, Bernard and Syldonie. I wish you all God’s special blessings on this your big day. May his name be praised now and forever. May your life be an inspiration to all of us. We understand that life is not a bed of roses and that it will not get easier, but with your example of longevity, we take courage and look to God for his guidance. Enjoy your day my friends and just love each other. Fifty (54) years loving the same person is not an easy task. If you made it, then people like me and others can survive. Pray for me.

    Great news…God bless

    I like the part about cutting the exercise book in half. I remember my mom cutting the Campad books and pencils in half too. Those were the days.

    CONGRATULATIONS. Had my daddy be alive now, my parents would have been the same as you 50 plus years happily married.
    I have been married for 28 years and your story is so much like my married life except, we only have two beautiful respectable children. God bless you both and my wish is to be able to be like you two in years to come.
    Keep up the good work and continue to love and respect each other.
