We were married 35 years in September and were engaged 3 years. My parents were married for 68 years when my Dad passed away at the age of 93. Was it all easy? No way, but I wouldn't trade my life for anyone elses. My DH is still the most wonderful man in the world in my opinion. He is so understanding of my "addiction" to quilting and collecting fabric. Well, at least he never says much except that what I am working on is beautiful and that he would like to keep everything. I will be very glad to keep him another 35 years or longer.
