How many years wed?

Belated congratulations numberplease. DH and I have been married 33 years this October, I was just 21 and he was 22. We met when he was here in Devon visiiting his mum (he lived in London) and we had a long distance 'romance' for 6 months until he moved here. We were married 12 months later.

Still admit to 52 yrs , any one longer than that ?

32 yrs here..... but were together yrs before we got married....im soon to be 56 hubby 76 !............

43 years in total but as his job required him to be awy from home so much it is probably really only 25 when we count the time we have been together.

He's away at the moment for a couple of days, he may be retired but they wanted him to inspect something in Rotterdam and it means a nice cheque in a month or two and, as the adverts say, every little helps.

Congrats numberplease. It will be 40 years for us on the 31st of this month. I reckon I could have committed double murder and so got rid of his mother as well and still been out by now. I'm sure at times sheer bloody mindedness got us through - I was 16 when we married, he was 22 and no one thought it would last. One person who made the most noise and married just a week before us (hubby's sister) has been through four husbands so far. At least my own brother had the grace recently to say he was wrong about objecting.

44 years on August 5th. I was 22, so I've been married twice as long as I was single....

We met at a dance at the Carlton ballroom in Rochdale, he asked me to dance and it was a barn dance, and I trod on his foot. That was at the end of November, we were married the following July, and our eldest daughter was born at the beginning of December!

Congratulations numberplease. My DH and I have been together 48 years and married for 43 and we met on a blind date, he was the navigator in a car rally.

LOL!!!

There are - you should see them - great hairy things!

Ah, greenmossgiel, I`ll bet there`s not as many warts as you`re trying to make out!

numberplease - congratulations! It's the togetherness that makes it work (him upstairs on the Playstation and you downstairs on your laptop!!! We've been together 41 years....now what can I say about that? Must love 'im, I think, warts an' all!

43 years, nearly 44.

We rub along.

Congratulations numberplease - OH and I met on a blind date, he moved in with me after one week (that was back in 1977), we married in 1978 and I still love him to bits although there are times when I could see him far enough!

Congratulations and good wishes numberplease What an impressive and heartening list of long-lived marriages with, as you say, no time off for bad behaviour. I'm on my second marriage and have only achieved 13 years – nearly as long as my first one. As our wedding day was 1 April, it's amazing it's lasted that long!

DH and I have been married for 36 yrs this year and have 3DCs and seven
DGC,he tells everyone how lucky he is to have me,then tells them I tell him that every day.
Congradulations Numberplease have a wonderful day

How wonderful congratulation numberplease and all the other 40+ and 30+. We have been married for 33 years in January and both been married before. I tell everyone I am not his first choice and he declines to comment. We have three children between us but sadly none of our own together but he did give me a golden retreiver once and a toad in a jar (which we liberated in the woods).7 grandchildren. I tell him everyday how lucky he is and he buys me badges for my cooking apron which say things like I am a Wonderful Wife so thats Ok then

Again, thank you everyone. Oh my, there are quite a few long marriages amongst our little gang, aren`t there? Congratulations to all. Riclorian, was going to say that we`ve got 4 years to go to catch up with you, but you`ll be on 56 years by then, won`t you, God willing, as my mother-in-law used to say.

Many congratulations, numberplease . We'll have been married 41 years this coming Christmas - some friends said it would never last but here we are! For the past 25 years we've worked together in our company - not easy! But we have separate interests as well.

Congtratulation numberplease .

We celebrated our 35th anniversary last month, and the way he's going he will be lucky to make it to 36

Congratulations to you numberplease!.
We have been married 42 years and I also know what it means to come close to murder!

We will have been married 48 years in two weeks time. We had a little celebration a couple of years ago on the 50th anniversary of when we first met, in case we are not able to celebrate out Golden Wedding.

congratulations numberplease---- well done to both of you . We have been married for 52 yrs , and still love each other to bits !!. I can,t believe all those years have gone by ---- I must have blinked twice . We have had lots of luck and have both worked hard at it , which is not always easy , but it has been worth it .
