Practically a spinster. I was 30 and so was he. He died two months before his 65th birthday.

First marrage was to *My Johnny*(LOL) I was 16 +4. months. Johnny was 17.

Second marrage, and LAST I was 23, hubs, Mike was 30.

I was 20, he was 21. We started dating when I was 15 (10th grade) and he was 16 (11th grade), we had typing class together, lol. It will be 36 years for us this coming May.

We both were 23, about to be 24. I'm older by 2 months, but I'm not the boss. We're equal partners and that's why we're still together and still argue and make up well. :)

I was a month shy of 23 the first time; he was 25. The second time, I was 34 and he was 37 (first time for him).

I was 20 he was 23..first marriage for both of us..43 years in July..just like marilyn we both deserve a medal..especially me lol..

I was 16 he 18. Going on 45 years!

I was 20 and hubby was 23. Will be married 48 years on June 1st.

both of us 22....stil going strong :)

1st I was 19 and he was 21, that didn't last long, then my 2nd, I was 30 and he was 42, then after he passed, I met Tobey and he was 65 and I was 68.

24 - it lasted 9 years, we got divorced.

I was 22 and he was 24. First marriage for both of us - it will be 37 years in May

I was 22, he was 36. His second, my first. Will celebrate 35 next month.

I was 22, he was 26. Scariest and best thing I ever did. We had almost 51 years together. He has been gone now for 13 years.

I was 19, he was 21. Still going strong....

We were both 25. This year we will celebrate 36 years.

I was 24. He was 32. Lasted 57 years until his death. Second time I was 85 and he as 89. We had dated before WW2. He died after 6 years and 3 months. Both were happy marriages.

seniorgal..did I get this right?..you knew husband #2 before you married husband #1?..then married him after husband #1 died..isn't life funny?

Yes. #2 went away to ww2 and when he came back I had changed from the 18 yr old he left. I was living in another state. He wanted to get married right away. I didn't. So each of us was married over 50 years to others. When I moved back he found me on the internet and began a "vigorous" courtship. Sad and romantic at the same time he maintained that he had been in love with me his whole life.

seniorgal..not many get a second chance..glad that you came together once again..

I was 22 and he was 31.

We celebrated 54 years in October.

We were both 20, high school sweethearts. We were married 32 years, together 35, when he passed away six years ago.

I had turned 21 two weeks prior to our wedding. Hubby-to-be was 31. My dad went from thinking my fiancé was too old for me, "Why doesn't he date someone his own age?" to loving him like a son. My husband and my father became great buddies.

We've been married 45 years.

Kessala

1st marriage for both of us, I was 37 and he was 46. We are going on 17 years now, no kids. We "dated" for about 6 months.

We both were 24 years old, dated 4 months. We have been married 32 years.

I was a couple of months shy of turning 26. DH was 25 and is 4 months younger, but with our different birth years (Dec. 1951 & April 1952) people think I am a year older. We will be having our 40th anniversary this year.

I was 19, he was 24, still married, 58 years now.

I was 25 and he was 26. This May will be our 10 year wedding anniversary. :) Next year will be 20 years that we've been together. :) No kids (just the way we like it haha), a wiener dog and 6 cats. :D

I told him he's stuck with me. He knows too much :o lol He's my best friend and I love him very much :)

23, he was 22.....married 46 years.

I was 18, he 23. We divorced after 38 years. The last 15 or so, were "just a convenience" we should have split up way earlier.

I was 19 and dear husband was 21. We were so darned young, but thought we knew everything there was to know about life.

I was old enough to be considered a spinster and evidently 'wasting away' by the Roman Catholic Church. They let 'heathen' me marry DH, although 'below the altar'. (I sure wish *I* hadn't agreed!) Oh, I was 23. LOL

We were both close to 29. It was 35 years in May.

I was 21 and he was 25. Been together now going on 55 years.

We were both 21. Married 49 years this year.

I was 29 he was 28. I am 6 months older. Been married 28 years.

I was 19-he was 27 Second marriage, I was 43-he was 49-still going strong after 23 years.

I was 21 and he had just turned 23. In June it will be 63 years. He is in a nursing home now and still has his beautiful blue eyes. Some days he knows me and some days he's far away.

We were both 21!

I was 22 and DH was 24. We will be married 43 yrs on January 26.

I married the first time at 19. Biggest mistake ever but I do have a fantastic son from that marriage. Married again at 30 and still married. Will be 27 years in July.

I was 23 and he was 27, my first , his second, and will celebrate 56 years in March.

29 and 28 here. Married since '88. First marriage for both of us. Those that married young 'high school sweethearts'-did your children follow suit? Did you recommend it for them?

I was 24, he was 23. This April will be 30 years. We dated all through college, then I had to wait a year for him to finish. :)

All the long marriages here are amazing. This forum certainly skews the statistics!

I was two days off my 22nd birthday and DH six weeks away from his 23rd. Still married after nearly 34 years (and my mother said no one would want to stay married to me because I was too hard to get on with). FIL asked DH before the wedding if he was sure he wanted to get married or was he only doing it because I had somehow pressured DH into it (obviously didn't know DH well enough to know that nothing makes DH do what he doesn't want to). That said, FIL had always been kind and loving towards me and often said in later years that he treasured me as a family member. FIL has passed but MIL is still going strong at 86 - I love her to bits and am going down to give her a hand tomorrow sorting her brother's things for storage now that he's in a nursing home.
