Story of a Marriage: 50 Years of Christmas Love Letters by Jim McCormick.
This story of a marriage is not fiction it is beautifully real. For their very first Christmas together, Jim took pen in hand and poured out his deepest feelings of love to his new wife, Marilyn. She wept as she read his words and made him promise to write such a love letter every Christmas for the rest of their lives. And he did. For fifty years, through all the seasons of a marriage both tender and turbulent, Jim kept his promise. Philosophical, poetic, and deeply insightful, these private letters reflect the joys and struggles that every marriage faces.
