Christopher William Anderson knows firsthand that being a marriage therapist is no guarantee your marriage won’t break up.
His own first marriage ended in divorce more than a decade after he started counseling couples in 1979 in his home state of Texas.
Mr. Anderson and Ms. Winter, both 70, met as fifth graders in 1963, at Will Rogers Elementary School in Houston.
A few days into the school year, Ms. Winter was transferred to Mr. Anderson’s class because her own homeroom was overfilled.
“He was the sweetest boy, the most beautiful boy, with beeswax in his combed-back hair.”
