Mindaugas Vidugiris on 28 Years of Marriage: 'You Need to Pet a Man Like a Shelter Dog'

Mindaugas Vidugiris, who has been married for 28 years, emphasizes the value of long-term relationships in an era where couples often separate at the first sign of trouble. As the organizer of awareness events and the founder of "Vyrų kalvė" (Men's Forge), Vidugiris shared his perspective on what keeps marriages strong.

He likens the nurturing required in a marriage to caring for a dog from a shelter, suggesting a deep, consistent form of affection and attention. Vidugiris expressed his dislike for the modern concept of "partnership," implying it lacks the commitment and depth he believes are essential for lasting unions.

Vidugiris also offers guidance to individuals who have become disheartened by their experiences with dating apps. His advice aims to provide a different perspective on relationships, focusing on commitment and dedicated care, rather than fleeting connections.
