Millions have been moved by a couple’s sweet story of how they met and started dating 30 years ago.

Bonnie caught David’s eye when she was getting off a train at Grand Central Station in New York where he was a supervisor.

David was in charge of which platform each train would depart and altered their schedules in hopes he would have a chance to see her again.

He changed which trains left and arrived from the platform closest to his office for three days until he saw Bonnie walk past and smile at him.

Despite Bonnie thinking the situation was ‘unusual’, the loved-up pair have been together ever since and married for 20 years.

David and Bonnie were stopped on the streets of New York by video bloggers, Meet Cute NYC, and asked how they met.

‘I used to supervise the train operations in Grand Central terminal in New York and I had an office, in the track area that had one-way glass through it,’ David answered.

‘One day she got off the train and I saw her coming through the platform. I was looking through my one-way glass so the next day I put the train on the same track so I could see her again.’

Not having any luck, David changed the train platforms again and again until they were all going to the spot near his office and he eventually saw her a second time.

‘One day she came up, got close to the one way glass and saw me inside and smiled, the next day I went out and introduce myself,’ David recalled.

Bonnie ‘had no idea’ David had moved the trains to meet her until a few months into their relationship and said she thought the move was ‘unusual’.

‘So the next time somebody changes the gate on your plane, (they’re) just trying to get a date,’ David joked.

David said he did not get in trouble for shuffling the trains around in hopes of finding love.

WHY SAYING SORRY IS SO IMPORTANT

In our experience, three little words – ‘I am sorry’ – can clear away a great deal of resentment and hurt.

KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR DANGER SIGNS

Time and again, we saw the following seemingly mundane problems cause a high degree of tension in marriages: terrible time-keeping, tiffs over tidiness and solo (not shared) hobbies.

LEARN TO DEAL WITH CONFLICT

If we saw a client shrug their shoulders, sigh and say: ‘What can I do? There’s no point in arguing’, it was a sign someone had checked out of the relationship and had neither the will nor desire to maintain it. TIP: Conflict isn’t always a bad thing. But think about your style of resolving disagreements. Remember, openly humiliating a partner can be as painful and damaging as a physical blow.

MAKE YOUR SEX LIFE A PRIORITY

What’s going on outside the bedroom has a huge effect on what’s going on inside it. If you aren’t kind to your partner and you don’t respect them, it’s more than likely your sex life will suffer or even be non-existent. There is nothing like contempt or resentment to kill desire.

DON’T ASSUME THAT LOVE CONQUERS ALL

The betrayed spouse is very often at a loss to explain why his or her partner has been unfaithful, and it’s by no means always the case that affairs are all about sex. In fact, we think the reason why people have affairs is, in the main, irrelevant. It’s how each individual in the couple views infidelity that will determine whether the relationship will collapse.

Be in no doubt that infidelity will change the nature of most relationships – and is quite likely to cause its complete breakdown.

‘I was in charge, there was no threat to safety or anything, I was just putting the trains where I had a chance to meet her,’ he explained.

When asked what the secret is to a long-lasting relationship, David joked it helps to say ‘yes, honey’ often.

The ‘adorable’ video has racked up a whopping 7.7million views online and warmed the hearts of many.

‘Damn he switched the trains and I can’t even get a text back,’ one viewed laughed.

‘The man truly interested always has a plan,’ a woman replied and another said: ‘Make their story a movie please’.

‘They don’t make men like that anymore,’ a third added.

‘The way she looks at him and smiles is so sweet! Lovely,’ wrote a fourth.
