In this heartfelt episode, Ana Luca (www.AnaLuca.com (http://www.analuca.com/)) sits down with 90-year-old Dick Young, who reflects on the profound lessons from his 68-year marriage to the love of his life, Carolyn. From navigating rocky beginnings to overcoming childhood wounds and the devastating loss of their son, Dick shares how meditation, therapy, and a commitment to self-improvement transformed their relationship into a joyful, enduring bond. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why Dick was initially afraid to love and the role fear played in their relationship. How meditation and centering prayer healed past traumas and strengthened their marriage. Carolyn’s pivotal ultimatum: divorce court or therapy—and how therapy changed everything. The importance of shared values, interests, and exploring each other’s curiosities together. How trust evolves slowly over time and why it’s critical for overcoming abandonment wounds. Why meditation helped them forgive, love more deeply, and approach life with joy and authenticity. The simple yet profound mantra: “When all else fails, do something else.” Dick’s story is a testament to the power of doing the work—individually and as a couple—to build a love that lasts.
