Reason 10:
Because Here, Married Life Never Gets Dull


FRED & MARCIE IMBERMAN
Married 35 years


Where was your first date?
MARCIE: At a restaurant called La Chaumière. We never ran out of things to talk about. As we kept dating, I became very impatient for him to propose to me.
FRED: I thought I proposed at rocket speed, actually!

What is your fondest memory from the wedding?
MARCIE: When I walked down the aisle and Fred took my hand, turned to me and said, “Come here often?”

And nearly 40 years later, you’re still together.
FRED: We live together; we work together. We’re in the antique furniture and jewelry business, and living in the art and cultural center of the world has been very important for us.
MARCIE: We love walking the streets. And the parks. We even love the subway. We ride it home at midnight from the opera and from Carnegie Hall.

Why would anyone move to the suburbs, right?
FRED: It’s just that in the city, you never wonder, “What’s there to do?” As long as you’ve got the perfect date.
