“Get a good understanding of what you are doing and where you are going,” she said.

Her husband then insisted people do not need to have a big wedding to prove that they are married.

Willie stated that people rarely know how to tell right from wrong when they are young but as they grow old, they gain experience and become better at handling difficult situations.

She further said simplicity does it when it comes to marriage.
