Story of a Marriage: 50 Years of Christmas Love Letters
Fifty years, fifty letters. One timeless love story that will make you believe in forever.
Imagine a love story that spans a lifetime, marked not by grand gestures but by a simple, heartfelt tradition. Jim McCormick’s Story of a Marriage: 50 Years of Christmas Love Letters does just that, weaving together five decades of devotion and the beauty of everyday life.
It all started in 1968 with a single letter to his bride, Marilyn. Little did they know that this humble beginning would blossom into a cherished annual ritual. Each December, Jim penned his thoughts and feelings, capturing the essence of their journey. From the thrill of young romance to the chaos of parenting, the inevitable trials of marriage, and the sweet comfort of growing old together. With every letter, he opened a window into their shared life, filled with joy, sorrow, and profound connection.
When health challenges threatened to overshadow their love story, Jim feared those precious words might fade away. But thanks to their son David, who discovered the letters tucked away in a box, these written treasures were brought back to life. Encouraged by friends, Jim made the bold decision to share this collection with the world. A testament to the life they built together, a “poor man’s Taj Mahal” created from ink and emotion.

It reminds us that true love is not always a grand romance but rather a steady flame, fueled by faith, trust, and the willingness to weather both laughter and storms together. Those annual letters became sacred rituals, binding Jim and Marilyn’s souls across the years.
