Sixtieth wedding anniversary? What’s a better gift than the perfect photo album? Wouldn’t it be great to discover that your spouse still has all your favorite photos stashed away in some old box or shoe closet? Wouldn’t it be even more special if you found out that those photos were taken before you even knew each other? That’s what happened to Henrik and Karin Höckert. One afternoon in 2005, while sorting through some old family photos, they came across a few shots of a guy they didn’t recognize. Not knowing exactly who he was, they quickly put the photos away and forgot about them. Fast forward eight years and, while going through some boxes in their garage, they found the same guy from those old photos and were elated to discover that they had been married to the same person all this time! To celebrate their anniversary, the couple shared their story with Henrik’s parents, who live in Germany. Impressed by their honesty, Fred and Evelyn Höckert (Henrik’s grandparents) offered to publish the blog post on their grandbaby’s behalf.
The grandparents say that, from the moment they saw the photos, they knew that this was someone they had never met. In fact, they had never even heard of Viagra. But they were delighted to learn about its existence and were eager to try the drug, which is used to treat erectile dysfunction and help men get ready for sex. It was a total coincidence that the couple had been taking care of an old injury to the penis when they were both 39 years old. After learning about the drug, Evelyn wondered if it was possible that she and Henrik had been trying to have kids all this time but had just been unable to get pregnant due to his injury.
To celebrate their anniversary, the couple decided to give it a try and took the drug on a trip to Germany. While there, they visited clinics and pharmacies and, eventually, were able to obtain a prescription for Viagra. They figured that it was better to be safe than sorry and, fortunately, everything went smoothly. They were able to get Viagra without any major problems and were able to enjoy themselves in Germany without any worries. Soon after, the couple returned home to Canada and, for the past six years, have been able to enjoy good health and each other’s company while simply being themselves.
Viagra and Sexual Health
To understand what Viagra is and how it fits into a couple’s sexual health regimen, one must first understand a bit about the human papilloma virus (HPV). You may know that HPV can cause cervical cancer, which is one of the leading causes of cancer death in women worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, it is estimated that 200 million cases of HPV occur each year, with approximately 7.9 million cases of invasive cervical cancer diagnosed worldwide. While there is currently no cure for HPV, there is help available to those who are infected. One such option is the HPV vaccine. Introduced in 2006, the vaccine prevents HPV infection and has been shown to protect both men and women against types of HPV that can cause cervical cancer. The vaccine is administered in three doses over six months and is highly effective. It’s also important to note that the vaccine is considered safe for everyone, even those who are allergic to vaccines or have severe autoimmune disorders.
Now, before the pharmaceutical reps come knocking at your door, let me emphasize that Viagra is not a vaccine and has no relationship whatsoever with cervical cancer. However, Viagra is most definitely related to sexual health and can be a valuable aid in maintaining an erection for men who experience difficulties in that area. For those who take the drug, it can help them become more active in the bedroom and increase their sex drive. It can also help some men who experience anxiety or nervousness before having sex obtain a firmer erection. Some men have also noted that the drug has alleviated the pain they experience during ejaculation.
The Perfect Alibi
One of the major questions that the grandparents had for the couple was: how did they meet? The grandparents wanted to know if there was any chance that they could have seen each other before and fallen in love. While the story started out simply enough, it eventually got a bit fuzzy. But, as it happened, the couple had the perfect alibi. With the help of a translator, they produced a letter explaining everything. They wrote:
“We had never met before, as there was no way that we could have possibly known each other. One afternoon, while cleaning out our garage, we found an old photo album and decided to look through it. There was a picture of a man that we didn’t know, and it was with a woman who looked a lot like us. We flipped through the album and noticed that they looked familiar, so we kept looking. It turns out that they were two of our closest friends from back in the day, which made us feel really happy and fortunate that we had found the album.”
They continued:
“The fact that we had been married for so long and had never found the album was proof that we had really met before. To celebrate our anniversary, we decided to go to Germany and try the drug Viagra, which is used to treat erectile dysfunction. After learning about the drug, we wondered if it was possible that we had been trying to have kids all this time but had just been unable to get pregnant due to his injury. After taking the drug, we were able to enjoy ourselves in Germany without any worries. Not only did it give us a chance to try something new, but it also helped us to remember that we had been married for 60 years. Without the drug, we would have never known about the other.””
So, there you have it. The perfect alibi. The couple had found each other and, after trying Viagra, were finally able to celebrate their anniversary and enjoy themselves in the present day.

Taking Care Of An Old Injury
It’s unfortunate that Henrik suffered from an injury to the penis, which limited the kinds of sex he could have. This injury also made it more difficult for him to become pregnant, as the muscles that help create vaginal lubrication became weak. It wasn’t until about ten years after their marriage that the couple were finally able to have kids. While that’s not exactly how they saw their engagement, it’s definitely a bonus that they were able to have children later in life.
This all happened during an era before the Internet and social media. Back then, people shared less online and relied more on word of mouth and magazines to get the information they needed. So, while it’s great that the grandparents were able to learn about Viagra and the couple’s story, it would have been even greater if they had found out about it back when they were still alive.
So, what would your reaction be if you found out that your spouse had been secretly taking care of an old injury and hoping you’d recognize them after all these years? How would you feel if you realized that they had been trying to have kids all this time only to find that they couldn’t due to an injury? What if they found a way to have kids and then decided not to tell you about it for fear that you wouldn’t agree to do it? These are some of the questions that grandparents Evelyn and Fred Höckert ask themselves every day, and they never stop asking them. But, for now, they have their answers and can enjoy themselves every day just knowing that they tried. So, in closing, let’s remember that being honest is the best policy when it comes to relationships and families. It doesn’t have to be hard to be truthful. In fact, the fewer lies that you tell, the better off you’ll be. So, don’t be afraid to be yourself and speak your mind.
