    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:)

    This is a great topic... I just had to ask my husband how many years have we been married...
    He had to pause and figure it out too... Its going to be 23 years this May.

    So glad he stuck with me!

    We just celebrated the 25th Anniversary of our 1st date. We will be married for 20 this July. We met when I was 18 years old. We have 3 beautiful children. We have been through much together, including deaths, illnesses and many pounds gained and lost. My husband recently lost 30 lbs, weighs less than when we met and is healthier than he has been in years. Now, I am on the track to losing my 30 lbs that we have put on through years of babies and playing with life. So excited for the next 25 years.

    Congrats to all that have made it this far....

    I'm married to the greatest man I've ever known. Our home is peaceful and loving. Even with raising 5 children, I find peace in the noise and chaos that it brings. All because of my amazing husband.

    Happily married for over 23 years now! We too are looking forward to our youngest graduating HS and moving on. It is definitely a journey of a lifetime. My wife is truly my best friend and the one person I am able to be completely open with. One bit of advice I would pass on, learn what buttons you push to upset your partner, then learn not to push those buttons!

    This marriage is my second go-round, but it will be 32 years in August. I guess I've decided to keep him.

    Got together with my future husband on 3rd February 1978 and we married in September 1981. We're like chalk and cheese - pretty much opposite in everything. I like to read. He doesn't. I love to run and hate doing weights. He loves to do weights and hates to run! I love documentarys. He preferes soaps! He loves beach holidays. I like to see the sights, and so the list goes on... We've had a few ups and downs but on the whole life has treated us pretty well. Sometimes he drives me nuts! Sometimes I drive him nuts! But when all's said and done he's my best friend

    Here's to another 35 years and more!

    Lovely post! I've been married nearly 5 years, and we've been together for nearly 10 years. My parents will have been married for 39 years this October.

    Haven't hit the 20-mark, but I think that'll happen. This is marriage #2 for both of us, and we'll have been together about 10 years this year, though only married for 3. We've lived together since 2005, though, so it sure feels like we've been married much longer than 3, heh. I agree with the poster who noted that it's about respect, and I think it's also about encouraging each other to grow and celebrating each others' successes 100%. :flowerforyou:
