Married to my first for 7 years, she died at 27. Second wife for 36 years, she passed 2 years ago Halloween.

54 wonderful years.

26 years. Wow-its flown by.

34 years this past October and we married when I was 17 and he was 31. I followed him to California from Virginia :) and then we ended up back in Virginia, our home state, 19 years ago. Congrats to all of you!

married 43 years dated 2 years

25 years last June. We dated for 2 years. Both of us were married previously (Me for 17 years and divorced).

Happy anniversary Marilyn Sue!

46 years! Unbelievable.

Congrats, Marilyn Sue!

Zero years for me...

Would celebrate 47 years this June but he passed away right before our 32nd.

I was married for for 41 years before I became a widow 3+ yrs ago.

Happy anniversary Sue. For us it was 51 years this past Sept. Most said we would never make a year, we sure showed them. You don't need to know someone for very long, for us it was 2 weeks from the first meeting that we were married.

Congratulations, Marilyn Sue! :)

Hubby and I celebrated our 36th back in October. Dated one year, got married at the age of twenty. We still live on the family farm in a small town.

DH and I met in a night school class on public relations at Northwestern in Chicago. When he called to ask me out to dinner I told him to ask me after the next class. (I wanted to be sure he wasn't one of the several *strange* guys in that class.)

I lived at home in a NW suburb, and he lived west -- making me G.U. (Geographically Undesirable), but that didn't stop him. The first evening he came to pick me up we discovered we had met as little kids. His parents had been close fiends of our former neighbors -- whose DD had been my First Friend from age three. My mother would have recognized his name but...I'd gotten it wrong when I told her the name of my date that night. Now it's been MY name for 52 years.

I was going to tell Marilyn Sue to "hang in there", but she has done that...and then some!

42 yrs for us. He was barely legal when I met him, LOL.

We were born and raised halfway across the world from one another. We like to say our karmic agreement was to meet at the geographic halfway point!

Married 32 years. Dated 4.

Mary506 I felt that way about Dale... but...

I was married for 38 years, and am a divorcee now for 6.

We celebrated our 23rd anniversary on October 23rd.

I married my childhood sweetheart....met him when we were 12 years old. He was so cute. I used to write about him in my diary every night, but since he had a lot of girlfriends, I just wrote down what he wore to school that day. ;) Started dating when we were 16, married at 19, and next month will be 51 years. He has still had a lot of girlfriends....but I had a lot of horses to feed and he was good to my mother, who was very difficult. He was a wonderful dad to our daughter. His parents were both dead by the time he was 12. He started running a shrimp boat for an uncle when he was 14 and quit school and bought his own boat when he was 16. My parents were very strict and my dad ran off most of my boyfriends, but my mother felt sorry for Jody because he was an orphan. He was the only one they should have run off. I have spent my whole life with him....and can't imagine life without him (or the horses).

Happy anniversary, Sue!

We'll celebrate 46 years on the 12th. We met in May, got engaged in July and married in December...I was 18 he was 22. Lucky us...we're still crazy about one another!

It was 35 years in May, together 38. Where has the time gone? It's still the 70's in my head!

Not married, but share a home with my best friend of 5 years. I prefer this to a "relationship" in the usual sense.

Happy Anniversary!

Our next anniversary will mark 44 years.

Happy Anniversary Marilyn_Sue.

My late husband and I were married for 32 years, together for 35, from the time we were 17. Still can't imagine being married to anyone else, but seniorgal, maybe by the time I'm 85 I'll be ready. ;)

Married to Mr. Less Than Wonderful for 8 years. Married his best friend-in a couple of weeks will be 27 years. We have known each other for 34 years & lived together for one before marrying.

40 years in March

My boss and I fell in love when I was 20 and he was 13 years older and divorced. I quit my job before things got awkward, but everybody knew, and when we got married two years later I'm sure a lot of people said it would never last.

We were married 40 years and had three children. He had dementia for 10 years before he died in 2005.

Happy Anniversary, Sue!

42.. We were 19 when we married and are STILL married much to the surprise of our mothers. Actually, our marriage has outlasted both our mothers who died 18 and 22 years ago.

Happy anniversary Marilyn Sue!

37 and 3/4 years....lol

Happy Anniversary Marilyn Sue....

Happy anniversary, Sue! We've been married 48 years.

26

Happy Anniversary to Marilyn Sue and everyone else too. We celebrated 44 years in 2016. We met at the end of my junior year in high school and he was just graduating. We dated 5 years and married when I finished college. My two close friends also celebrated their 44th anniversary this year. We spaced out our weddings during the summer 1972.

So many lengthy marriages! I have been married 12 years today. Second marriage for each of us. Given our current ages, we likely won't see 50 years together!

Happy Anniversary Sue! 35 years this past May for us. Started dating when I was 15, he was 16. Got married 5 1/2 yrs later. Soooooo young. I absolutely love seeing so many long marriages here. Congrats to all.

I was introduced to Larry by a childhood friend. She was crazy about his best friend. I was suppose to be introduced to his younger brother but he came along first. We met in October, he gave me a diamond for my birthday and we were married on June 1st. It will be 49 years next June. My friend that was crazy about Larry's best friend married him a year later. I must say I have had a really great life with him. We had 3 terrific kids..

Happy Anniversary Bluebell!

dated for 7 years, married for 34 1/2.

We were high school sweethearts!

Lot of longevity in marriages here. :)

Was engaged for 4 yrs (that was a long, hard wait); Waited until one of us graduated from college before committing to a permanent bond and would have enough money to support ourselves. Been married for 56 yrs. I think that it is going to work.

I was married for a little over 7 years the first time. He died of a malignant brain tumor.

This coming May my second (and last) husband and I will have been married for 31 years. Our wedding day was the 5th anniversary of when we started "going together," so we will have been together for 36 years. We lived together for four of those five years before we married. He is fiercely protective of me, and very romantic. He is definitely a keeper!

Happy anniversary Marilyn_sue! We just celebrated out 33rd anniversary.

Best wishes to all on your anniversary "dates".

Happy anniversary Bluebell66!

Happy anniversary Marilyn Sue. We started dating in HS when I was a junior and he a freshman at Penn State. We married after he graduated and while I was a junior still in college. A year later we had a son and four years later , a daughter. The son has a daughter, the daughter ,a son, and the granddaughter has two babies, boy and girl. So over the half century mark. Yikes!

Married a few months short of 51 years, after knowing each other for one school year. Widowed for 12. So many happy memories and a lot of anticipation for our reunion. He was just so much fun to be with and such a rock when I needed support. Sweet friendship.

Congratulations to all of you . I am pleased to be a part of this group.

Was married for 24 years to my first husband. I have been married to my second husband almost 10 years. We are best of friends and two peas in a pod! HA!

46 years for us. It makes me happy to see so many who have been married for so many years.

I was married for 9 years and then divorced.

I've been living common law for 16 years.

43 years. Met DH at age 7, started dating at 15 and married at 20. He's a keeper!

Too long to # 1...and...not long enough to # 2.

DH and I will be married for 43 years the end of January. My grandparents both celebrated 50th wedding anniversaries. My parents celebrated 25, 40, and 50 and 60. We have 2 children and 5 grandchildren and 1 great granddaughter and a DIL and a SIL and they are both married for the first time too.

October was 40 years.
