Alix Boyd-Knight, the retired Speaker of the House.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Their long married life is quite a feat for a couple who have known each other for practically all their lives. The two were born in Giraudel and they grew up there. Her mother even took care of her husband while he was a child.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy Mam made his bed for a year and six months,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>With a hearty laugh, she added, \u201cWe really grew up together, so I could see if he was talking to other girls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mrs Harve grew up in a strict Catholic home and although she caught the eyes of many suitors, she never entertained them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got a lot of calls and a lot of approaching,\u201d she stated. \u201cBut I wanted to become a nun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The idea never became a reality and she remembered the strict code of conduct she followed when it came to her future husband.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI could not go anywhere with him,\u201d she revealed. \u201cI was not supposed to go to dances with him. I was not supposed to go to any show with him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The two interacted only when he visited her home. \u201cHe would come home early night and then leave to go to his home but I was staying right at my mum\u2019s and not moving,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She remembered that during these visits, her mother sat on one side of the house while they sat and talked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd that was it and when he was ready to go, he walked out and closed the door,\u201d she remarked. \u201cI don\u2019t remember going out with him before marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Through the frequent visits, the two decided to get engaged but probably out of excitement, Mr Harve brought her a wedding ring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I had to go exchange that for them to put three dots and a leaf on either side of the ring,\u201d she explained. \u201cAnd this was the engagement ring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But that was just the beginning.<\/p>\n<p>In order to make his intentions known to his future wife\u2019s parents, Mr Harve had to bring the ring and a letter to them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe came to the house,\u201d Mrs Harve explained. \u201cHe brought his letter, he read it out and that is how it went.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She was 19 then and their married life began in a humble way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe didn\u2019t even have money to buy shoes and my parents bought the shoes, they helped us,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The union produced 10 children, with six alive today. She also adopted up to 19 children. Mrs Harve described her husband as a good man who possessed a great dedication to his children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can remember he told me one time, I am going to work, and if any of the kids say to you, \u2018Mam, I would eat something more&#8217;, give them my dinner and when I come I will drink water,\u201d she recounted. \u201cI will never forget that, not even on my dying bed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Throughout their years of marriage, Mrs Harve said she and her husband never quarreled. \u201cOne day the two of us were sitting at the table having a little lunch,\u201d she remarked. \u201cHe got up from the table and he went by the door and said, \u2018Boy it is so nice, for so many years we\u2019ve been married and been together and we never had a talk.\u2019 I don\u2019t think we ever had a talk. We never quarreled, we never fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So what is the secret to a long, healthy marriage?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to understand each other, you have to be satisfied,\u201d Mrs Harve pointed out. \u201cYou don\u2019t have to put your mind on money. You just have to pray to the Lord. If your knees are not sick, go down on your knees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Mr Harve once briefly migrated to England and the couple lived in Canada for some time, the two now enjoy their lives at their home in Giraudel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are just relaxing,\u201d Mrs Harve said. \u201cI like to make my bed, make his bed, and then we sit on a swinging chair on the porch swinging our feet. And you know what people passing like to say? &#8220;Oh my God, one day I will be like you all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And I always tell them, &#8220;You have to keep praying, if you keep praying and you put your trust in Him, He will know what to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Her advice to young people contemplating a life of marriage is to pray more. \u201cYoung people have to pray,\u201d she stated. \u201cThey are not praying enough and too many of them do not like church. You cannot be at the back of God and expect to go forward. You have to be with Him. And the trouble is that He is talking to us and we are not listening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Looking back at the close to seven decades of marriage to her husband, Mrs Harve has no regrets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was the first person I knew in my life and we are here up to now,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_302578\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-302578\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-302578\" src=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/1683222750212blob-642x437.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/1683222750212blob-642x437.jpg 642w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/1683222750212blob-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/1683222750212blob-768x523.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/1683222750212blob-640x435.jpg 640w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/1683222750212blob.jpg 920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-302578\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The couple in younger years<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On a Sunday recently, Rita Harve, stood at the altar of Our Mother of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Giraudel while the congregation sang, \u201cHappy anniversary to you.\u201d She was alone, her husband was ill and couldn\u2019t attend, but her&#8230;","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":302577,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[77,235,6,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-302574","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-homepage","category-homepage-carousel","category-international-news","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
