A **78-year-old man** married a beautiful **29-year-old woman**.<\/p>\n
The next morning, he walked into the hotel breakfast room looking unbelievably energetic.<\/p>\n
He was whistling happily.<\/p>\n
His longtime friend, also in his 70s, stared at him in disbelief.<\/p>\n
“Frank, you’re 78!”<\/p>\n
“How did you survive your wedding night with a bride that young?”<\/p>\n
“Weren’t you worried about your heart?”<\/p>\n
Frank calmly sat down.<\/p>\n
He picked up his coffee.<\/p>\n
Took a slow sip.<\/p>\n
Then smiled.<\/p>\n
His friend leaned closer.<\/p>\n
“Well?”<\/p>\n
Frank finally answered:<\/p>\n
**”I didn’t have to worry about my heart\u2014she spent the whole night making sure I took my blood-pressure medicine.”**<\/p>\n
His friend stared at him.<\/p>\n
Then burst out laughing.<\/p>\n
“That’s your secret?”<\/p>\n
Frank grinned.<\/p>\n
“At our age, romance isn’t about being reckless.”<\/p>\n
He took another sip of coffee.<\/p>\n
**”It’s about having someone who remembers your medication schedule.”**<\/p>\n
His friend shook his head.<\/p>\n
“I was expecting a much more exciting answer.”<\/p>\n
Frank smiled.<\/p>\n
“So was I.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
