That's what East Devonport's Una Rockliff, nee Barnett, likes to say about the man she's now been married to for 70 years.
Mrs Rockliff was just a teenager when she first laid eyes on Peter Rockliff.
"I said to my younger brother, 'now that boat down there with those two young fellas on it, you go down and start talking to them, and then I'll come down and say mum said you'd better come home for lunch'," she recalled.
Arguments - get over them. Get over them and make up.
- Peter Rockliff
"Yep, that's how she caught me," her now husband Peter Rockliff confirmed.
Just teenagers at the time, it didn't take long for the two to fall in love and set up a life together, becoming pioneers in Tasmania's seafood industry and creating three children, 12 grandchildren and 29 great-grandchildren in the process.
Their first company, Petuna, became one of Tasmania's most recognised seafood brands
The pair celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary on Tuesday, surrounded by most of their extended family.
They said the key to their long marriage was arguing.
"I've always said, it's not all beers and skittles," Mrs Rockliff explained.
"But don't walk away if you have an argument, stick together."
"Arguments - get over them," Mr Rockliff added.
"Get over them and make up."
