THEN & NOW: Renay and Al Levensen

Renay and Al Levensen

63 years 
Aug. 14, 1961, at Ahavath Achim Synagogue

How they met:   
Renay: I had a blind date with someone else, and Al sat beside me and called soon thereafter. Then I had to train him to not call at the last minute. I had other dates, so he would chat with my mother.

Initial attraction:
Renay: I thought he was nice and good looking.
Al: I wanted a family, and I loved her parents and brothers. And they were good golfers.

Secret to a happy marriage: You both have to want it to work.
