    YES!!! 23 years and going strong! Actually stronger than ever! We've had our ups and downs. Getting married so young was challenging then having a child with autism put some added stress. We are best friends and I can't imagine my life without him. :heart: :love:

    Very happily married to a wonderful man for 26 years! Cannot imagine not having him to share this life journey.

    44 years and the secret is to not bail out at the first bump in the road. Every couple is not happily married forever. There are always good times and bad. If you stick together even though things aren't the best, it usually does get better.

    Very happily married since 1980. There will always be peaks and valleys, of course. That's just normal, isn't it?

    We'll be married 7 years in April. He may be a pain in my butt sometimes, but I love him dearly. :love:

    Yay! Trying to get healthy so that we can enjoy another 20+ years together! We own a small business and are together 24/7, it is still not enough. Love my hubby!

    23 years and two kids later, we can't wait until the youngest leaves for college in August so we can do whatever we want at any time (if you know what I mean!)

    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.

    :cry: Sorry to hear that.

    Me and my lovely guy will have been together for 14 years this year, and I swear I still feel like we just met. Each year we're together we are more in love than the last, and I can't believe how lucky I am to have met him. He's my best friend and my soild rock. We have two young children and, while having kids is awesome, I am looking forward to a time when we can spend more time together. :) I am heartened to know that there actually are other couples out there who enjoy one another as much as we do!

    Will celebrate 23 years this year. My husband is overweight and hates exercise, but when I look at him I still see the 23 year old man I married. I love him no matter what his size. :heart:

    Just celebrated 12 years and together for just over 13 with my best friend and soul-mate. We are the male/female versions of each other with just enough differences to make it never boring, but always interesting. We laugh everyday and love grows with each giggle.

    Great topic Davey! Nice to see a happy topic, gives us a reason to get healthy so we can be around to add up those big happy together numbers. :happy:

    Married for 20 years now. We have surpassed most in our family. I agree there are good and bad times you just have to choose to get through the hard times.

    When the going gets tough I look at all the reasons he is perfect for me. All the other stuff doesn't really matter.

    My best friend and I will be married 23 years in September. After all this time we're still besties. We enjoy hanging together and because we keep our own separate interests (he loves cars and four-wheeling, I love books, exercise and anything super-hero related) we always have stuff to talk about.

    Great thread. I love seeing so many happy people!

    It's sad to lose a partner but you had 43 good (I hope) years. Memories are a wonderful thing! I dread losing mine! We are 44 years in April. J x

    23 years. He'll do:). He makes me laugh every day. We know each other inside out, we grew and changed together. We have been very compatible parents which isn't all that common. He farts in bed. Ops. Sorry, just +.
    He has the same body he had when he was 19 years old! Love him! We're like a couple of old ducks. Together through thick and thin. Lately I've been challenging to live with. Every now and then he says "I should just put you out of your misery". Or "ok , it's time to trade you in!" Love him. And I think he's going to keep me anyway:)
