Long marriages

52 years this year. My husband deserves a medal.

My dad died one day before their 70th wedding anniversary my mum followed him 6 months later
Dad told me he never even had another girlfriend she was
16 he 18 when they met
I lasted 12 years the first time and 8 the second

My Granny's advice for a long marriage "you have to swallow gimlets!"

55 years for us in July. He deserves a medal as big as a frying pan!

I married at 18 and we had a good run for 45 years when he sadly passed away. It's been great hearing about so many other long marriages!

We've been married coming up forty four years in July and together another three before.
It has passed very quickly but yet it seems like a lifetime, which it is!
Like most people it has been busy with work and family life, bringing up our three sons, and now helping with the grandchildren, the third on the way!

I forgot to say "happy 45th anniversary" to Lullydully, hope you have a lovely day

Been together for 32 years and for 20 of those years we have worked together day in day out just us two. Works well for us, he is the best boss ever❤️

56 year in July for us. I was 21 and DH was 22. Didn't feel young at the time but looking back we were, especially compared to the average age of marriages these days. We had such a lot to learn!

My parents were married for 70 years but for 6 months so we have some way to go to match them.

50 years married next Saturday.

Spice101 Congratulations

Spice I hope the weather holds for you and you can have a wonderful celebration with some friends in the garden, perhaps after the Duke's funeral service.

We have been married 48 years, hopefully by our 50th things will be back to normal!

We have been married almost 61 years. Met when I was 16 and dh was 17.

Thanks M0nica for your congratulations.
B9exchange, I live in Australia so our weather is on the decline but still should be ok for next week. At least we don’t have restrictions on who or where we can meet as we have very few covid cases.

spice congratulations on your upcoming 50th! The six months running up to ours I was a nervous wreck, worrying about whether we would actually make it! How stupid can you get??

45 years married in 2 weeks time and together for 48 years. Can’t believe where the years have gone.

Together 45 years and married for nearly 43.

Like Terry Wogan used to say about his wife and their long marriage - I don't like to throw anything away!

Together 46 years, married for 45. Married 11 months after we met.

Congratulations Spice and Greyduster 50 years married is quite special.

45 years before sadly losing him suddenly 16mths ago I still can't believe he has gone from me he was my rock.

So sorry glammanana. I can only imagine how life doesn’t feel the same again. ?

Married 51 years, no idea where the years have gone.

42 years for us both had early failed marriages first.

So far as far as I can see we don't have any GNetters who have been married longer that the Queen.

A bit disappointing

We (OH and me ) have been together for 61 years and married for 55 years, so early days yet,

I do hope that we last as long as the Royal couple.

52 years together in June, 51 years married next December. I wish I could go back and do it all again.
