The Alton couple shares a lot of things in common starting with going to church.

"We also love to travel and do some occasional gaming at the casinos," she said. A trip to a casino always sparks memories of how they met.

Teresa shared advice on what it takes for a happy, healthy relationship for a couple:

"Take time to listen to each other’s personal goals and also set couples' goals," she said. "Be kind to each other and all arguments are not fair; accept a critique and make it work."
