Minsk Residents Celebrated Diamond Wedding
This is 60 years of marriage, and the couple has known each other for 68 years.
Valentina and Leanid Akhrasovich met back in 1958. But the path to happiness was difficult, STB TV channel reported.
Leanid served in the Black Sea Fleet for four years, and the couple's paths crossed only in 1966. They didn't think for long — they decided to get married. In 60 years of married life, Leanid went from a builder to a ministry employee, and Valentina dedicated more than four decades to the "Integral" factory.
"The very first thing you need is trust, respect, the ability to listen, speak and be heard, and patience. Family is a lot of work," Valentina shares her secrets.
During this time, their family has grown to four grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
