Will be 40 years this year. We had 3 children in their teens when our "caboose" arrived. Can remember shopping and going thru the checkout with all 4 children. The cashier looked at them and then at me and said "Same husbank?" Yep!

Annaquilts 02-21-2011 11:33 AM

A big congrats! What a blessing. DH and I have been married 26 yrs this July. I better not be married to him 43 years. that means I would have been a child bride in kindergarten. One day I hope to be blessed whit a long mariage like that. I realize it might not happen. My mother passed away before she and my father could see that milestone. I am counting blessings daily just like you. Thank you for sharing this wonderful news.

ging10ging 02-22-2011 06:59 PM

Conrats to you and hubby. Where does the time go. This Dec will be 48 yrs for us. Let's keep going since in a few years they will look back on us and wonder how we did it. Not many stay married this long. We sure are the lucky ones.

Juliebelle 02-23-2011 04:48 AM

Congratulations!!

It will be 40 for us this fall. Where did the time go?

I was married to my first husband 17 years and separated for 5 years before filing my divorce.
I am not re-married but I have a boyfriend of 12 years now (the same boyfriend too..) Sadly my ex is on hospice care right now and it just depresses me because he does not have much time left to live anymore (advanced cancer with no treatment because doctor said it would worsen his condition).

amyjo 02-26-2011 02:06 PM

married since 1972 to the same man, live on a farm. Love farm life, can be hectic, used to run all the machinery except the baler. that I refused to do. Now I work off the farm and drive,drive, drive for the Census Bureau.

SandyinZ4 02-28-2011 08:16 AM

I haven't read all the posts but DH and I will celebrate #43 on the 8th of March. Many good times and good memories. A very good night when we met on a blind date in '67.

Slow2Sew 03-04-2011 01:27 PM

We recently celebrated 38, but I was only six when we got married. :-O

EdieClay 03-04-2011 01:31 PM

Celebrating 44 years with Jack in October.

KarenSimon 03-04-2011 02:10 PM

Just celebrated number 41 here.

QuiltingNinaSue 03-04-2011 02:55 PM

Just been 45 years since that day in March (24th) when we spoke our vows on Route 66 in 1966 before Rev.Priest or am I miscounting again...its been a long while...

QuiltnCowgirl 03-04-2011 03:02 PM

Some days it feels like 43...but it is really only 10 1/2 years. Told him on our wedding day that we would celebrate our 50th together in 2050. His response: "Do you know how OLD we will be???" I'll be 90 he will be 88. That's doable don't you think? :)

crafty_linda_b 03-04-2011 03:02 PM

Donna My DH & I will be celebrating our 43rd anniversary too on March 15th...we dated for almost 4 years before we got married too....I tell everyone we are joined at the hip..*L* we have been through some good times and bad times together...I was 15 and he was 18 when we met. I think we stayed together so long because we were so young and grew up together and raised eachother along the way..
Congratzzz to you and your DH. Any kids? We have 3 (2 DD's 37 & 35 and our baby boy will be 28 in May) our sad time was when our 1st son died at 3 days old...the sad times make you stronger and you pull closer together..

Loved reading all these posts--it makes me feel good to see all of these marriages lasting so long! We'll reach #54 this May and we're hoping for many, many more. He's quite a guy!
