We have been married 31 yrs. 1 mo. and 9 days but who's counting. It's been a great time. We meet at the carnival on July 4th. We walked out to his car, a beautiful 73 Charger. I said WOW this is yours? He said yeah you like it? You can have it. I thought buddy your don't know how true that is. We still have it in the garage. I now own a 2008 Charger. At least mine runs.lol Yes, we are both still into cars. So are the kids.

We will be married 8 years this coming March.

JanTx 10-15-2011 10:10 AM

38 years next month. We met on a blind date also - on Halloween. So I either bewitched him or drove him batty! I was 19 and he was 21 when we got married. Drilled into my daughter that it was so much wiser to be through with college before marriage. So what did she do? Got married 10 years ago when she was 19 and her hubby was 21. Sigh.

joyce blint 10-15-2011 11:20 AM

Long enough to realize how lucky I am (39 yrs).

Iraxy 10-15-2011 11:23 AM

30 years in August. We have been a couple since 1978. It's been great. Best thing I ever did. When I met him the first thing I told him was that I was not interested in having any kind of a relationship. After several months of "seeing each other" he asked if there was a chance it could turn into "something" because if there was, he would wait. I was so surprised I said yes. He waited another year just as friends and then one day I said "okay, we can move this to the next level," the look on his face made me fall in love with him. He was so joyful. The rest is wonderful history.

I met him in study hall as I dropped out of one of my math classes. He had a cool car.

39 years, will be 40 in may 6, 2012. I was 16, he was 18. And we were babys! :lol:

Sheila_H 10-15-2011 11:51 AM

Wow so many of you being together all these years, I find that very impressive in today's society with so many people getting divorced over nothing. We've been together now 6 yrs will be 7 in Jan.

EdieClay 10-15-2011 11:56 AM

44 years on October 28th ... which is also my birthday! I met DH at work and chased him all over that laboratory. People in the division would call me to tell me that he was going down for coffee ... and SURPRISE I would just happen to show up. He's still the cutest thing I've ever seen.

Quilty-Louise 10-15-2011 12:07 PM

Together 11 years married 8 years as of September 12.
We met ONLINE through yahoo personals, he placed an ad
and within 5 minutes I saw it and answered it (on Sept. 12).

Funny thing is Sept. 12 is EXACTLY 3 months in between our
birthdays (mine is 6/12 and his 12/12). I tell him it was fate
that we have each other.

sak658 10-15-2011 12:09 PM

49 years.. last May 26th....

nannyrick 10-15-2011 12:17 PM

We just returned from a cruise to Bermuda to celebrate our 50th.

Mitch's mom 10-15-2011 12:31 PM

We have been married 18 years. We've been together 24 years. We have been married longer than all our siblings or parents. I tell him he can't have a divorce until I'm done torturing him ;)
I was married once before for 8 years. He had never been married before. I got him new and unused, though he may have been tried on a time or two.

mzsooz 10-15-2011 12:57 PM

Got married when I was 32 and he was 34. Been together 25 years but married only 23. Anniversary was May 21.

vivianv 10-15-2011 01:04 PM

Been together 35, Married 33 in March. Pretty much a record in my family. He came from a more stable home life.

loves_2_quilt 10-15-2011 01:07 PM

33 years! Last September 11 I thought we wouldn't see our 33rd, but my hubbie survived the "widow maker" heart attack. We cherish every moment together even more than before.

hobbykat1955 10-15-2011 01:11 PM

33 yrs...it went too fast and had and still having a great time...I've always said he's the best and couldn't and wouldn't ever replace him...He's my one and only....
