Northwest love stories: For 60 years, 'there wasn't anything else'

Eric Marcoux and Eugene Woodworth will celebrate 60 years together on June 13.

The couple met in Chicago in 1953. Woodworth was a ballet dancer, and Marcoux was just leaving a Trappist monastery.

Marcoux, 82, and Woodworth, 84, participate in Friendly House's Gay and Grey program, and Marcoux has been a Buddhist teacher for 23 years.

The Oregonian caught up with the couple in their Northwest Portland home, which they share with their macaw, Big Bird, to learn their secrets to a healthy and happy partnership.

What wonderful men, the love, the honesty this relationship embodies their pure spirits. How truly blessed they are.

Oh, what I wouldn't give to have found committed love as these two gentlemen.

Being together with someone for 60 years is a lifetime. I ought to know, I'm 60, myself!

Cheers to their health, devotion and love!

This increases my belief that real love is rare and not everybody gets it. If you've been so lucky, cherish and defend that love above anything else.
