Married a LONG time...

[Victor N TN]

My loving spousal person and I have been together 44 years today. She is my best friend. She is always there for me. I hope I am always there for her. We have 2 beautiful daughters, 3 wonderful grandkids and 1 growing like a weed, little great grandson. I wish that all of you could be as happy as I am in your own situation. But I know that some people just weren't made to be married. My brother has been married 5 times. I wish he could be happy.

Thanks to Lowlight and all the guys (and girls) I have chatted with on here. We have shared a lot of information over the years. I hope we can do so for a long time yet to come. And thank you Frank for letting us have this wonderful place to contact each other. I had a lot of fun when I was a moderator.

Thanks guys,
Victor

Congrats, amazing in this day and age.

Thanks guys. We really appreciate the kind words. But it's really work to stay married. I'm not going to lie and say we have never had our rough spots. But we never went to bed mad. I think she had to work harder than I did. At times I have NOT been easy to just be around. Much less like.

Thanks again.

Congrats, My 30th is coming up soon. It is no doubt hard work... I went to bed mad plenty of times and Its amazing that I always woke up with my tool intact.

Congratulations! You are right that successful marriages are work. I think a great deal of the success comes from making the commitment to doing that work that makes the marriage work out. People unwilling to sacrifice for their partner, or who won't do the work are unlikely to have the success you have.

Congratulations!!! I'm about 10 yrs behind you anniversary-wise. Very few get a good one it seems, and I'm one of the few.

Congrats Victor, and well wishes for another 44!

My Wife and I have been together for 37 years if you count the two years in High School. We married in Aug right after graduation.
I would not change anything but I can't say the same for her. I'm sure if she knew then what she knows now she would have listened to her parents.

You two are a harmonious pair. A pleasure to be around.

 

[Greg Langelius *]

Many Happy Returns for you and your lady.

Celia and I reach 44 this July.

You're so right about there being rough patches, but I think it just pulls us both closer together afterward.

We are currently vacationing with the whole family in Tybee, GA.

Congratulations to you. We have 28 years together. She said yes when I was still a dumb Lance Corporal and stuck out a few years at Camp Lejeune too. This was in the days when we didn't write letters due to "op sec." It is work, but worth it!

CONGRATS VIC! truly an occomplishment

 

[lash]

Good to hear! Congratulations!

34 years this year for my wife and I. I'd agree that it's the commitment to make it work that makes the work worth it. After all these years, we are closer as friends and partners than ever. Feeling lucky.

Congratulations, Victor!!!!--and all the others who have reached large numbers of anniversaries. My parents are set to reach 50 years this June, and my wife and I are trying to arrange for most of the kids and their wives to get together to celebrate with them. I have two siblings who have gotten divorced, and five others still married. My wife and I have only been married 12+ years, but hope to celebrate as many as God gives us until one of us is called home to Him.

Marriage may be difficult at times, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. It does my heart good to hear of others who have been married 30+, 40+, 50 years.

 

[Victor N TN]

Thanks guys. My wife and I really appreciate the kind words. I hope you can all have a long lasting and loving marriage.

Congrats on another anniversary! Me and my wife are just coming up on our first with our first kid coming in two months, both our parents have been married 40+ years and we both knew before we said "I do" that it is a serious long term commitment, seems like theres too many divorces these days with couples that don't even know each other. Congrats again!!
