My parents have deceased for several decades. They were married on 08/01/1946, and the time they shared together was joyous.

As for myself, I have been married once. But due to circumstances beyond my control, the married only lasted seven years. I have not remarried.

Married 50 years (to the same women). We're good friends. Would do it over again, but don't have time.

My mom and dad have been married for 33 years and still going strong. I can only hope my relationship will be long lasting. Of all my friends only 1 does not have a step parent.

My mom and dad would have celebrated their 48th wedding anniversary on July 16th.

My mom lost her battle with cancer on June 2nd of this year.

She is still in our hearts and we still celebrated the wonderful life that she and my dad had together and that they gave all of us kids (there are 6 of us)

I hope my marriage to John lasts as long as my parents. We married on 01/01/2000. He picked the date, I picked the place. I married him in the very same church my mother married my father. He said the he picked that date because no matter what day it is, he can never be in the doghouse with NOT knowing how long we've been married. So, today is 8 years, 8 months.

My parents divorced in 1979 - my father has had 2 marriages since (married to my mother 10 yrs, his second wife 15 - so we're betting on 20 for this one if he lives that long LOL)

As for us, we married in 1989 so we're approaching 19 yrs next month - we definitely married too young, but we're making the best of it because I know God brought us together for a reason :-)

Happy Anniversary to your parents!!!

Congrats to your folks. Mine were married for 60+ years before one passed away. I was married over 30 years the first time and am working on the "7th year itch" right now with the second. I scratch his back and he scratches mine! When my parents had been married almost 50 years and someone asked them how long they had been married, Papa said "almost 50 years," to which Mama replied, "and 10 of them happy." Mama was a riot.

My parents are still together after 51 years.

My husband and I have been married for 31 years.

My father's parents were only married for 45 years, but that was "till death", as my grandfather only lived to be 65 years old.

Pop Pop's father lost his first wife (she died when Pop Pop was a child), but remained with his second wife until his death.

Maybe it is running in the family.

I hope so.
