In a world of 72-day celebrity marriages, a 73-year marriage is nearly unimaginable. Against all odds, Cutie and Harry Cooper persevered through seven decades of marriage, enjoying triumphant milestones and enduring devastating losses, all while keeping their sense of humor and connection intact. Here, Cutie chronicles their story and extracts time-tested advice on how to know if you've met "the one," the art of fighting fair, and everything else that goes into staying blissfully bonded. With vintage photos charting their relationship from newlyweds to nonagenarians, this nostalgic and romantic gift book is a practical resource for anyone who dreams of falling in love for life.

My first novel is "The Kept Girl," a novel of 1929 Los Angeles featuring the young Raymond Chandler, his devoted secretary and the real-life cop who is a likely model for Philip Marlowe (http://www.thekeptgirl.com). You'll find me hosting true crime, history and architecture tours and webinars at (http://www.esotouric.com) and our newsletter is (https://esotouric.substack.com). Other recent publications are "The Raymond Chandler Map of Los Angeles," a collaboration with illustrator Paul Rogers, “Cults!”, Haunts and Havens of Charles Bukowski" and "How To Find Old Los Angeles." Close to my heart is Barbara "Cutie" Cooper's memoir, "Fall in Love For Life: Inspiration from a 73-year Marriage" (Chronicle), which emerged from the viral sensation that was my grandparents' video blog, The OGs (http://www.the-ogs.com). I wrote an oral history about "Neutral Milk Hotel's 'In The Aeroplane Over the Sea'" (Continuum 33 1/3), co-edited the anthologies "Lost in the Grooves" and "Bubblegum Music is the Naked Truth," and for many years published Scram, a journal of unpopular culture (back issues at http://www.scrammagazine.com). I took a break from music writing to create the time travel blogs 1947project, On Bunker Hill and In SRO Land, which offer alternate histories of early Los Angeles, and which opened up a new world of creative possibility. Now, with my husband Richard Schave I lead curious souls on Esotouric's offbeat sightseeing tours and webinars into the secret heart of Los Angeles (The Real Black Dahlia, Raymond Chandler's LA, Charles Bukowski's LA, Blood & Dumplings, East Side Babylon) and produce the podcast You Can't Eat the Sunshine, which one fan described as "Huell Howser on steroids." My campaign to save the historic 76 Balls from destruction resulted in ConocoPhillips agreeing to donate the gas station signs to museums nationwide.

Great advice whenever you need reminding

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2013

Verified Purchase

I loved reading every word in this book! It was just heart warming to read about a relationship that was like any other relationship but which stood the test of time. It was great to be reminded of the common sense advice that we should all know but can sometimes slip our mind every now and then. I really enjoyed Cutie's humor and her positivity - almost as if it was my grandma talking to me. Plus, looking at all the pictures and reading all the stories makes me hope and think positive that I can one day have a long and beautiful marriage like the Coopers as long as there is love and respect for each other. Thank you Cutie for sharing your advice with me!

A charming, wise and funny book

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is a book about romantic love and marriage that's a fun read, put together by Kim and Chinta Cooper from adorable things their grandmother, Barbara "Cutie" Cooper said. Kim and Chinta took on the care giving of their grandparents after their former caregivers, Kim and Chinta's father and aunt, died suddenly. As a fun activity they all could share, Kim and Chinta introduced them to blogging, only to create an international media phenomenon as advice junkies all over the world discovered the OGs were still madly in love after 73 years of marriage, and besieged them with questions. The result is a charming, funny, wise book.

Ms. Barbara spoke very intuitively & from experience. Her words of wisdom provide people with the foundation for a lasting relationship. I found her to be insightful, warm, & thought provoking.

I'd recommend this book to anyone that wants to improve their relationship. Her writings help with looking at different perspectives on handling situations. I'd also recommend to anyone looking for a relationship. She provides the important traits & characteristics to look for in a partner.

Ms. Barbara's wit & charm are abundantly clear. Her life lessons feel genuine & heartfelt. Happy reading!

Fall in love!

I bought this book for myself and my husband...we've been married for 25 years and would like to shoot for 75. I thought it was so wonderful I bought a copy for my 19 and 21 year old daughters. I wish I had read it myself when I was their age. She writes with such wisdom and down to earth style. I highly recommend this book for anyone that wants to see how to improve their relationship, or to start a relationship.

Cute book

My sister gave me this book for my wedding anniversary and I just fell in love with Barbara "Cutie" Cooper. I think I just really love elderly people. I liked the book so much that I've begun to buy it for others as a wedding gift. I'd recommend this read to anyone who is looking for an inspiring story about a long-term marriage (and some cute advice on how to maintain a loving relationship).

A sweet story of love and life

Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2014

Verified Purchase

This story tells of life of Barb and Harry Cooper who created a blog a number of years ago on the secrets to their long and happy marriage. It's full of smart but simple advice on how to maintain a happy marriage through the trials and tribulations of life. While their life was not untouched by tragedy, they worked together to make their life simple and full of love.

Was hoping for more -

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2013

Verified Purchase

Was hoping it was more of stories of their lives together and what made them who they are/were as a couple who have stayed together 'forever' however its more like a bullet points of what to do and what not to do. Would have liked to have read something like this early in my 20s. Not sure that I agree with all she says and thats ok, if we all thought alike - what a boring world we'd live in.

Should have been the 5th Golden Girl

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 11, 2012

Verified Purchase

`Fall in Love for Life' is a genuinely lovely book, which can be very poignant in parts. I tend to find books on this topic too saccharine for my taste, but this book is written by someone with a lifetime of experience, compassion, a wicked sense of humour and full of common sense. It is reflective as Barbara "Cutie" is looking back on her life and 73 years of marriage with her late husband Harry, but feels very relevant to me as someone several decades younger. I only wish I had a 90 plus, witty friend to talk or in my case listen to.

I adore this book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 20, 2014

I loved this book so much, I cried so many times reading it because the way she describes things are so beautiful, funny and touching.

She's so honest and the advice she gives is straightforward and useful. It really made me think about my relationship with my partner and what we need to do to make it work for many years to come. It's definitely a book I'll keep and go back to many times over the years.
