“Reginal & Malverta Henderson – Leflore County, Mississippi Married 58 years – Anniversary -November 5, 1959”
“The longer the marriage lasts, the sweeter it gets. You go from I, me, my, to we, us, and ours.” — Malverta”
“I think longevity is attributed to the mindset and the vows you take, Malverted said in closing. “I don’t know if you go into marriage knowing this, but you soon learn that you have to give a little and you take a little, and you have to compromise a lot. That constitutes longevity. You don’t just give up, give in and get out of the marriage.”
