Will be married 36 yrs on January 13; dated for 7 yrs before that, so total 43 yrs total! 3 wonderful kids; first grandchild due in January! First date, a sock hop on December 26, 1966.
I think all marriages have ups and downs; like someone else said, commitment is the key.
Wish it would be longer - my DH has terminal lung cancer. D$%^ cigarettes!
