Francis and Rosemary Klontz will celebrate their
sixty-eighth wedding anniversary this month. When people ask them how they’ve
stayed together for so long, they say the answer is simple: coordinated
outfits. Rosemary’s mom bought them matching T-shirts when they were high
school sweethearts, and they’ve been wearing clothes that match ever since.
Every. Single. Day. Francis says he just lets Rosemary decide what they’ll wear:
“She just lays it out for me, and I don’t have to worry about a thing!” Before
they retired, Francis and Rosemary both served as pastors at the First
Presbyterian church in Laidlaw, Oregon. They explain that sharing their faith has
helped them stay together all these years. “You put Jesus first, others second, and you
last. That’s the way you spell JOY,” Rosemary says.
