My Grandparents were in the same one room schoolhouse and lived near each other and were married for 65 years. My parents grew up across the alley from each other, had the same teachers/classes, and went the prom/dances together, and been married for 55 years. I guess the apples don't fall far from the tree because my brother married a nice girl who lived 6 doors down the street, and was in the same graduating class, and I married a girl from the street behind where I grew up that was a classmate. We didn't start dating until we were 22, and been married for 26 years now. The neigborhood where we grew up was always active with kids on bikes or playing basketball in the driveway, and tents were out in the backyard for sleepovers.
There were no electronics to play with until I was a teen and got a electronic, hand held football game with 5 buttons on it. You had to DIAL the phone and sit in the kitchen to talk because the cord wasn't long enough, and we only had one car until I was almost driving age.
