Long marriages

44 for us. No idea how, both too stubborn to give in probably

I’ve been with my husband half that: 36 years. Quite long by today’s standards. If “The Crown” is anything to go by, The Queen and Prince Philip went through a very difficult patch after Charles & Anne were born, but divorce wasn’t an option for them, then. They muscled down & got on with it & lasted another 60 odd years together!

I suppose also they didn’t have to live side by side in a small house with money worries ........

45 years this May. Ups and downs obviously, but we have always had our own interests plus joint things we enjoy together. My parents only made it to 26 years as my father died young. Mum remarried and that lasted 18 years until she died. My remaining aunt and uncle have reached 64 years.

I don’t think The Crown is anything to go by, I watched one episode because it was about something which mattered very much to me, it was not true.

44 next week if he’s a good lad and makes me my tea!

First marriage: good for many of the 43 years we achieved before divorcing.

Current marriage (to olddudders of this parish!) is working well after five and a half years, during which we have been in different countries for some of the time as his main home is in France, whilst mine is here in England.

40 years married the end of this month. Other half worked away from home a lot so we were never 'velcro'd' to one another which I think helped. Lockdown 1 was probably the first time we'd spent all day everyday together for 3 months and it went surprisingly well!

42 years in July but I was very young (by today’s standard).

My in laws celebrated their 70th anniversary on 29th March.They are two halves of a whole in everything they do down to making a cup of tea!

Been together 60 years, married 56

We were married 55 years, together 59 years, I miss him every day RIP my darling husband.

43 years ?

47 years and 52together.

We have been married for 53 years and while like most couples who have been married that long we have had our ups and downs, I have never wanted to swap him for anyone else.

We’ve been married 46 years. I hope to remain married for a good few more years yet.

Met Mr. S. when I was 16. Married him when I was 19 and we celebrate 41 years this year.

I married my first love, my only love and can't help thinking the Queen did too.

My H and I met at school when he was 16 and I 15.
We first went out later that year. We were together from then and married at 22 and 21.
We were married for over 60 years when he died two years ago this month when he was 83.
I cherish those years but did not mourn as he had had Alzheimer’s for ten years and life was difficult during that time.
I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

50 years next week, together 52 and a bit

DH died two weeks before our 53rd wedding anniversary.

We have been married 45 years. Today is our anniversary. If we make 73 years we will be just over 100, so just possible.

Last year was our 60th, so it'll be 61 years in May.
We've become more tolerant over the years and learned each others little idiosyncrasies and accept them. The thing is not to try to change each other.

Congratulations LullyDully

Happy Anniversary LullyDully.

This coming October it will be 50 years for us. My choice didn’t go down well with my family, but we’ve proved them all
wrong. ??‍❤️‍?

47 years for us this August. Not all perfect by any means. In the early years my parents didn't like him. We were broke and constant carping from my parents added unnecessarily to the stress of no money and a small baby. We somehow weathered it all and are very happy now. Looking back to those early years made me determined not to put my own daughter through what my parents put us through. Like a previous poster, I think we were too stubborn to give in, plus no money for separate houses and neither of us were prepared to return to the family home . We are very lucky to have had many good years since those far off days.

14 years this November, 22 years together, we rock onwards.
