Tired of the wife/husband & woman/man bashing. 33+ years to the same awesome wife, partner, equal, lover, best friend.

Come on... Anyone else???? Reverse the current trend :flowerforyou:

Edit: OK....everybody dance no matter how long you've been together. I apologize about putting a limit on the years. Bring it on!

    We've married almost 17 years as we committed too - for rich or for poor, for better and for worse, in sickness and in health. What an amazing journey it has been to be where we are now and see who we have become. It will be amazing to see ourselves even further down the road.

    We had almost reached 43 years when my husband died. There were easy times and difficult times ... but they all were the best of times. I have terrific memories ... just wish we could make more together.

    What a great forum idea! I married my best friend in 1975 and we are always amazed at how much we have accomplished in 38 years! Right now, we are having a great time doing MFP together, which show how little it takes to entertain us! LOL We are looking forward to 38 more years of great times! :flowerforyou:

    Even though I have only been married for a little over 3 years, I really appreciate the nature of this thread. I would never bash my wife the way some people bash their spouses on here. :D

    Officially it will be 20yrs in August. It is all about respect. We do not always agree. Compromise is not a dirty word.

    In June we will have 12 years of marriage together. Thank you for inspiring me and reminding me that marriage does work for some of us, it's a wonderful thing living with your best friend every day.

    We hit the 20 year mark in October. Two weeks ago she told me she had an appointment with a divorce lawyer. She just signed a lease on her own apartment and is moving out March 1st.
