StarSilver: Romance that keeps growing

Lloyd and Mary have been married for 52 years and have learnt to weather the mini storms that come their way. - PREVELINAA SURESH

For Lloyd Thanabalan, 80, and Mary Arokiam, 75, marriage is never “a bed of roses” all the time. In their 52 years of marriage, the couple admit that they’ve had their “Tom and Jerry moments” – some disagreements and frustrations along the way – but they’ve never let these moments shake the foundation of their union.

“The foundation of every relationship lies in love and trust. It’s important to never lose sight of the reasons that led you to choose your significant other in the first place,” says Mary.
