I have been married for 21 years this May. My husband is my very best friend! We have a beautiful son. We share everything, including losing weight. I have lost 135 pounds and he has lost 122 pounds!0

Going on 24 years, and cannot imagine life w/o him. He makes me laugh. He supports me in all that I do. He drives me crazy. He even ticks me off. But I love him, respect him, and would not want it any other way. I'm so lucky.0

12 years come October with my best friend. Married him when I was 17, and everybody said we wouldn't make it through a year..I can't imagine what life would be like without him. We have hit a great groove in the past couple years, really enjoying each others company and our time as a family. I'm looking forward to the next 12 years and beyond.0

What a great thread OP! My husband and I celebrated our 23rd anniversary last December. Can't believe how fast the time has gone by. My first husband passed away after 5.5 years of marriage. We would have been married 33 years. I think about him often, especially when I see our daughter and her daughter. But when I met my current husband, I literally could see sparks flying. There have been sparks flying ever since! Some of those sparks gave us a son. haha0

Been married 3.5 years (together 6.5). Still fairly newly married, but we are in it to win it! Even though there are ups and downs sometimes, we ALWAYS have eachothers backs. We've come so far and been through so much already in these first few years together. I can't wait to see how the rest of our lives play out together :happy:0

It will be 50 years this coming August and he's still my favourite guy.0

31 1/2 years here. We met on a blind date during the only three months (pre-marriage) when we lived in the same state!
To this day he brings me breakfast in bed on Sunday morning and coffee each of the other days of the week. He does our laundry and the grocery shopping and even cooks our supper a couple of times a week.
Of corse I also do everything I can for him too. Marriage won't work with 50/50. When it comes to such an important relationship only 100/100 will do.
The secret to our success? Committment. It is never, "Can we work this out?". It is ALWAYS "How do we make this work?". Failure is NOT an option!
Disclaimer: I don't say no one should ever end a marriage. I admire the courage of those who leave due to abuse, alcohol/drug abuse, adultery, and other tragic circumstances. I am opposed to ending a marriage as a cop-out. People can and do love one another for a lifetime. I'm one of them.0 -
Together for 23 years and married for over 13 years.0

My husband and I have been married for 40 years. He is kind, loyal and loving and is my best friend. He has been a great husband and provider, and father, in addition to now being a wonderful grandpa, whose grandchildren adore him. He is a retired scientist and is the smartest man I know, but he is also a faith-filled man and I respect him more for that than all of his worldly accomplishments (and they are many). I cannot imagine my life without him. 0

I didn't get it right the first time but I definitely did the 2nd time!!!! Been together for 25 years and married for 23 this coming June. Hasn't always been easy but there has never been any question of where we wanted to be!0

And I just want to say this is awesome reading these posts! How inspiring you all are!!!!0

We will be hitting our 20th wedding anniversay in June. Started dating in high school, survived a teen pregnancy (our daughter's an RN now, with no student loans and she just bought a house... so NaNaNa to all the naysayers who thought we should have given her up!), married young (20 & 21) and still madly in love with each other 24 years later! It takes work, lots of compromise and most importantly you each have to care about the others happiness over your own. It really just gets better with time. 0

We"ve been married for 25 years this coming June. By putting God in the center of our marriage, we can get through anything. We have 3 amazing children , two in college and one graduated college and is married. We are now having the time of our lives!!!!!0

Nice to think it's still possible. Been with my girl for only 4 months - so I can't really say anything - but I do believe in long term relationships.0

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:
We were married in '75 too! Wouldn't trade him for anything! 0 -
Again, thank you so much! Very encouraging and positive.0

My parents got married about 2-3 years after you and your hubby, they're still going strong too. I'm very proud of them
It's a huge accomplishment, congratulations to you and all of the "Long-haulers" in this thread!0 -
We're not married but been together 18 years and we are happy and able to have disagreements without running to our friends to bash each other does that count?0
-
yay! i like this thread!
God put us together and we got married 28 years ago. sometimes i think i am the luckiest woman in the world. some days i think he is the luckiest man in the world!
we're not perfect, just perfect for each other.0 -
I have been married to my amazing husband for 20 years!! Love it
Not an easy ride by any means but I would trade him for the world. Actually he is my world.
We accomodate to each other and support each other no matter what. Big, little, fat, skinny, he is there for me and any choice I make good or bad. 4 children, 1 grandson and a family full of fun and love.
Love you baby!!!!
