Edith Steiner, a Jewish woman who survived the Holocaust, and John Mackay, the Scottish Soldier that saved her. They were married July 17th, 1946, and will be celebrating their 72nd wedding anniversary this year!
Those people had it rough on a whole other level. Had the privledge to listen to a survivor tell her story, but the thing I remember her saying the most was in answer to a question.
Someone asked how she was able to find it in her heart to forgive the Nazis after everything she went through. She just looked pretty surprised by the question and said, "I haven't. What they did was pure evil."

I wonder if that ever comes up:
“Your turn to do the dishes, dear.“
“I saved you from the Holocaust!“
What a great story, what a lovely couple!
