So there was obviously a love situation from the word go,\" he says.One year after their marriage the then Princess Elizabeth gave birth to Prince Charles, now first in line to the throne. Before her coronation in 1953 the Queen also had a daughter, Princess Anne.Long marriages after children are born are becoming less common, according to psychoanalyst Susanna Abse who specialises in working with elderly couples at the Tavistock Centre for Couples Counselling.She says: \"The values of the Queen's generation are probably different to what came later with the sort of freedoms of the sixties, the baby boomers who really were looking to have a kind of choice about staying in a relationships, not staying when they were unhappy, whereas I think the Queen's generation (are) very committed to the notion of duty, to the notion that marriage was for life, so I think we have made a change, yes.\"After her coronation, the Queen became the head of the Commonwealth of Nations, a job which has required travel and diplomacy to every continent.It marked a very busy time for the royal family, which by the Queen's 39th birthday included three sons and a daughter.According to Pelham Turner, the marriage has been one of the most successful in the history of the monarchy.He says: \"They are the give and take royal couple, you know, they keep together extremely well, they have their times apart, but they are professionally one of the strongest couples I've ever met.\"According to Abse, in the UK people still aspire to a great all encompassing romance that will endure throughout their lives.When people have been asked to point out photographs which demonstrate intimacy in Abse's own studies, they often choose an elderly couple sharing a laugh.Abse believes it is perhaps because the divorce rate in Britain is so high, at 42 percent, that the Queen's marriage is seen as such an achievement.She says: \"People do want that. They want to feel that at the end of their life they will have this special relationship that has persisted.
