Sentence: They may not be the perfect couple. There might be bickering. They each might have a boatload of petty annoyances. They might not have all the answers but what they do have is lovegevity.

Etymology: love (an intense feeling of deep affection) + longevity (long life)

Pronunciation: roam ee oh no and jool ee yet

Sentence: After 55 years of bledded wiss, George and Martha had a romeohnoandjuliet kind of agreement. He had many flaws and she overlooked them. If his roving eye followed a comely wench, Martha would whisper sweet nothings in his ear. Endearingly poignant phrases like, "It is apparently time to watch "Fatal Attraction" again, my dear, since you have forgotten it's cinematic lesson." Or "You have a wandering eye...don't make me send out the other one on the Search Party." George had learned a long time ago to listen to Martha's admonitions of affection. He may be the Head of the household, but she was the Neck, who could turn the head in any direction she wanted!

Etymology: Romeo & Juliet (ardent lovers in a Shakespeare story) & Oh No (regrettable reaction; something gone wrong)

They always told her, "Love is patient and kind and hardly notices when something is wrong." Totally Retro!
