Next month hubby and I will celebrate 25 years of marriage HOW long have you been married?

[demtenjeep]

28 years together.

It hasn't always been perfect but we are very happy.

It is amazing the number of people that tell us how incredible it is that we have been married that long.


Our marriage has lasted longer than any of his families original marriages.

My mom and dad were married until my dad died of leukemia 3 months to the day of DX. They were almost married 50 years.


We are not celebrating until spring break when we are taking ourselves and the kids on a cruise. I can't wait!!!

But I also realize marriage is a ever evolving relationship. I've known several of the "they're the perfect couples" to get divorced in the 10-25 or 30 years of marriage range.

My neighbor is the perfect example he's 55, he was married for 25 years before she got tired of him working 7 days a week.

[Shrike47]

18. 29+ years, third marriage for each of us. Triumph of hope over experience.

[marlakay]

75. 14 years...third times a charm!

Should have waited until I was older to marry 1 & 2 I was very immature and not sure of myself.

24. 19 years come January.

We got a late start.

Parents were married for over 50.

Half-brother for nearly 40 (he's a widower). His parents for perhaps 3. His grandparents, for many a decade.

Half-sister for nearly 50 now. Her parents for perhaps 3. (And her mother had had 8 marriages and 7 husbands last time I asked her about it 30 years ago.)

[Ron Obvious]

25. 29 years next January

Our families married us off at 12 for political reasons. No, not really.

[Uben]

26. Took 36 yrs to complete the contract

Wonderful woman, died at age 60.

[blkmusclmachine]

27. Zero years married, because that freedom was denied to >US< at the polls, denying us our shot at

"life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."



How would you like the details of how you live out your life put up to a vote???

[yeoman6987]

34. Zero would be the answer

[Hissyspit]

109. And the reason is part of the answer, too.

Congrats, demtenjeep and spouse!

38. I WAS married 9 years and 3 months. At that point we got a mutually agreed on divorce! I should

have waited another 9 months and I would have been getting his social security. My lawyer did not say a word about it. Have never even thought about getting married again.

[frazzled]

39. It was 40 this June

Still laughing and still in love.

(My parents are coming up on 68 this month, so 40 seems like nothing!)

[madokie]

40. This past July 19th we've been married 24 years

it has been 43 years since I first told her that when I get married I want it to be with her. You see I came home from the war bug nuts and knew at the time that there was no way I could survive a family life so I took a hiatus for 19 years and got my shit together and finally my and I believe her dream did come true.

ETA: I love my Wife

41. Mazel tov

[Freddie]

42. 33 years

Always good but I think happier now that the kids are grown. I've seen couples who split up at that point because they realize the only thing keeping them together was the kids. Although I see the kids & our 2 little grandkids all the time I'm loving the empty nest!

[cilla4progress]

65. I think I'm with you

celebrating 34 with a road trip through our neighboring state of Oregon. Still a little up and down but less to fight over now!

[politicat]

73. 12 years, 9 months.

99% happy.

The major accommodations: Spouse is forever barred from using my power tools or any metal scissors in the house (him + power tools = trip to urgent care; metal scissors are fabric only) and me accepting that we will always have massive amounts of computing power...

We're even handling the lack of hot water heater this week pretty well.

[No Vested Interest]

74. It was 49+ years, until his death 4+ yrs ago.

He had a good heart and we had so many good times.
I still miss my guy.

Congratulations on your 25 years of marriage and may your see another 25, and then another!

I remember people commenting to us as well that they thought it was amazing/wonderful/incredible, etc. that we had been married so long.
It wasn't so amazing/wonderful/incredible to us because we couldn't imagine any other life.

[lastlib]

81. I don't get to answer that, but--66 years for my parents

as of August. Mom's parents were married for 54 years, her brother made 55 years, two sisters passed 50 years, and her other sister made 46 years. Guess it could run in the family, but only my sister (out of us five kids) made it past 25 years, now going on 38.

[DreamGypsy]

116. Married 25 years, 4 months. But the story is a bit more complicated.

I met my future wife in 1975 through an ad posted on a bulletin board at the Stanford student union. She was advertising a room for rent in her house. She was recently divorced, with 2 kids who stayed part time with her, and although she was working full time in a marketing position at a biotech company, she needed the rent money. I was in my second year of grad school and I needed a place to stay. So, we lived together for two years without...uh...living together.

In the winter of 1977 we planned a weekend cross-country skiing trip with some of her friends. The other people had to cancel but we decided to go anyway. After a fine and tiring day of skiing we shared a couple of drinks (I had brought my friend Jack Daniels along). It was a bit of a surprise to both of us, but we...uh...deepened our relationship that evening.

The living situation at her house changed after our weekend skiing. However, I continued to pay rent until 1983 when we bought a house together. By this time I had left the PhD program at Stanford and was working at a computer start-up. She had also left her job and was doing consulting to pay the bills, while she was starting her own company.

In early June 1989, with a small group of friends and family in attendance, we were married in the rose garden that we had planted in front of our house.

In 1991, we sold our house, left California, and moved to Oregon where we started a blueberry farm and, in 1992, had a house built, while continuing to work our jobs by telecommuting and traveling.

So, 25 years married plus 12 to 14 years together.

131. 11 months into marriage #2 (#1 was 18 yrs). My parents have 72 yrs married

& they're still in good health. Dad plows snow on the tractor & roto-tills the garden at 92 years young. A couple years ago I visited them for Christmas & dad was outside with a sledgehammer & a wedge splitting wood for the stove ... at age 90. My grandfather lived by himself on the farm & was in good health until he passed away at 94 sitting in his chair watching TV.

I REALLY, REALLY hope I got a lot of their genes!!!
