Just finished reading the wedding cost survey and the stats on how long marriages are lasting and wondered how long people here have been married. My wife and I will be at 24 years in May, how about the rest of you?

21 years in March.

My mom and dad were married for 40 years before my dad died... my MIL & FIL were married for just shy of 60 years before my MIL died. All grandparents for me and for hubby were all married until "death do us part"... so we see longevity in a marriage as normal.

:love::love:
It will be fifty three years on June 6th (DDAY) seriously. It has been a great ride so far.

6 and a half years, and we both come from broken homes. :lol: But our parents are all happily remarried to spouses that are better suited for them, so there is a lesson in that.

21 years, 22 in August. :getdown:

6 and a half years, and we both come from broken homes. :lol:

It'll be 6 years for us and we too both come from divorced parents. We dated for a year, got engaged and were married 9 months later in Las Vegas. And if I may add -- the 9 months we were engaged included NO wedding planning. I was sitting at my desk one afternoon and received a text from now hubby that said "Let's go to Las Vegas and get married." Three weeks later we were leaving BWI for LV. :cheers:

18 years before the divorce.

It will be 14 years in September.

4 years in August.

.....I feel really young now...

25 years in August. Both our parents will celebrate 50 years of marriage this year as well.

Smart man! Wish we would have done that from the get go and saved all the $$$ we spent.

15 for us in October

Was married 9 years in the same house and 12 years on paper. No hurry to divorce. :shrug:

I was sitting at my desk one afternoon and received a text from now hubby that said "Let's go to Las Vegas and get married."

How modern - texting a marriage proposal. :lol:

I said in the other thread - 9 years first time around, 13 years the second. So I'm getting better at this marriage thing. Next time around I'm shooting for 15 years. :yay:

It will be 30 years this July! My how the years do fly. My parents will celebrate their 54th in September.

My grandparents have been married somewhere around 70 years.

6 months. We've been together for years and years and hadn't planned on ever getting married. We didn't think getting married would be any different from living together.............but it is! :bann:

I hope being married stays like this forever!

It will be 38 years in August.

25 years in Sept. 2012. Both mine and my wifes parents and grandparents were till death do part.

Would have been 30 years. :mad:

Dated 5.5 yrs

Married 6 yrs now ... so starting yr 12 now


cost of the weddings $ 50 Bucks

1st 6 months first fight I packed my horses in the trailer and went home lol

2nd lived together 3 yrs then married for 24 yrs before the death do us part...

J and I have been together for 4 yrs this Nov..

21 years in October

Too long and going on 2 yrs this time......

15 years this June. We only knew eachother 3 months when we got married.

22 years in August and I'll be the 1st to say it openly in this thread because I know we are not the only ones out there. My husband and I grew up together and when a couple grows up together, they do a lot of rotten ass things to each another over the years. When we stop to reminisce, we know that it is a miracle we stayed together and we are grateful in the here and now that we have... We always had it all but never appreciated it as much as we should have.

16 years total...:yahoo: (thats the total of all three wives)

30 years in May....That girl saved my life....I was headed in the wrong direction....:killingme

A looong 4 years. Got married 2/29/96. Don't forget to wish me a happy anniversary tomorrow. I was telling my son the other nite, we got married at the courthouse, went home & changed, went out to dinner, then he dropped me off and went and played shuffleboard the rest of the night. We'd already been together a very long time. :killingme

The sad part is I've been friends with the guy for 10 years and he should KNOW better. :killingme Noooooopeeeeee, he was trying to excuse my behavior, "but, but, but they were a-holes...." "yes they were but I picked those a-holes...." :stupid:

We got married in March, which you may know as "Shuffleboard play-offs season"... mine had the nerve to ask if it was okay if we left our honeymoon early enough for him to make it back for play-off weekend...:mad: I shoulda realized then what my future would be... :lol:

Am I mistaken or is shuffleboard what the geriatric crowd play on cruise ships?

Me too! Almost 7 months married, but we were together for a long time before we got married. Although we always planned to eventually get married and I don't think that it is that different from living together. haha.

My lenten promise (instead of sacrifice) was to try and be nicer to my husband... I don't think I am really mean to him, but it seems like I could also be nicer.

Hey Pixie,
You sure that wasn't just a booty call? Some guys will say anything to get some, especially when drunk. (And yes, I have to fess up and say that I've been one of them) :whistle:
Just think Meatloaf's "Paradise by the dashboard lights"

"Before we go any further, do you love me? Will you love me forever?"

Pixie, no offense meant. :huggy: Didn't know what kind of friend he was to you. He coulda been a friend you had fun with in the past. Or sometimes old friends have a playful sexual chemistry that neither one ever acted upon and then one day the circumstances are just right and.... Boom Chicka Wow Wow! :dye:

Hey, maybe your friend thinks he and you are in that Julia Roberts/Cameron Diaz flick where the guy and Julia say they would marry each other if they don't find someone by a certain age. :killingme

To be really honest with you, I couldn't tell ya cuz I've never met Pixie. I've only chatted with her and she has a wonderful online personality. However, you never know who you're talking to online until you actually meet someone in person and find out if they are anything like their online personality. Some people disguise themselves very well behind the internet mask. It may be surprising to some of you, but I actually like to get to know the real person (and not just an image that my mind has created) before I would pursue anything.

Frankly, I'm a big jokester, enjoy having a good time, and I visit the forums not just for local information but also to make some online friendships, have fun, and maybe get a laugh or two. Anything wrong with that?
