    38 years for us this coming September. It doesn't seem that long, kind of hard to believe.

    i married my college sweetheart. We were friends first and have been happily married for 21 years. We believe that marriage is a lifelong commitment and it is definitely work. Sure, there are tough times, but they help us to appreciate the wonderful moments as well. God has blessed us with a great family and we keep Him at the center of our lives. Congrats everyone! So nice to see a positive thread on marriage.

    20 years married to my very best friend. He still gives me chill bumps. I love, love, love him. Of course, every marriage has its ups and downs, but when you both realize you are in it for the long run, you just figure out how to work things out, pick your battles and compromise.

    Married my high school boyfriend and celebrated anniversary 22 this year! He loves me when I am "fluffy" and when I am thinner. Glad we enjoy a lot of the same things like hiking and biking.

    I married my best friend in October 1988; he can still make me giggle like a schoolgirl. He has seen me at my best, he has seen me at my lowest and he is still by my side. I thank God every day for sending this man my way. I am a lucky gal. :smile:

    In May we'll be celebrating 14 years of marriage. My husband is truly my best friend. We 'get' each other, and love each others sense of humor. Even when we're snarky, we can make each other laugh. He's the only person on earth that I can stand being around for an indefinite period of time. He's intelligent, hotter than hell, wicked funny and all kinds of entertainment for me. :) I love him more than anything, and I am so thankful to have him in my life. Love is never easy, but it's always worth it. The hard times make good stories to laugh about later, and the easy times, well, they're just fun. :)

    I would like to thank you as well for starting this positive post!! My husband Sean and I have been HAPPILY married for 25 years and have raised 4 children. We do everything together! Work together, workout and go to the gym together, are on MFP together, we have cigar night together, we watch TV programs together and have never grown tired of each other!! We have always felt we were soul mates and are supposed to be together. I could do this for another 25 years!!

    I will be married 21 years this year. My marriage is stronger now than it's ever been. We've even worked together in the same office for longer than that! My husband has been the most supportive of my weight challenges. And I know he truly loves me. I believe I will keep him around. ;)

    :heart: this topic! Thanks for posting.

    Married 24 years in June, been together since we were 15 & 16. Even then, I could see what a beautiful, amazing man he would become. Two kids raised (one married), one to go. We're planning to have lots of grandkids (I keep reminding my son of this :bigsmile: ) and be married at least as long as my grandparents were. 63 years.
