Met my wife at a Hallowe'en party at the Officers' Club... literally "stole her" from a colleague.

Went steady after a month, proposed after a year, married after another three.

Wer've been hooked to each other ever since Cool

I married late (30) so it's only 22 years for us, but don't look now, it's only another 28 for our 50th anniversary !!! Cheesy

It was 41 years for us in January. We married very young, right out of college, I was about 23, she was about 22. We met at the airport where she was a flight student and I was a flight instructor, but not her instructor.

Linda and I celebrated 44 last December. My aunt and uncle celebrated their 60th, and it was a second marriage for my aunt. I know a lot of divorced people, but I have to say that when I think about it, almost all of my close friends have been married for many years, and show no signs of slowing down. When it works, there is no other way to live.

I just passed the 1 year mark with my wife. Married on New Years Eve 2011. Although we've been together for 8 years now all together (dating 6, engaged for 1). We had bought a house and a dog, which kind of cemented the deal before we got engaged.

I paid for college playing in rock 'n roll bands. Those bands have groupies. One particular groupie was chasing the bass player. He wasn't interested, so she changed her focus to me. That was 46 years ago. Today is our 44th anniversary.

One line I like to use that she despises:

"Hey, Bob, how long has has it been for you two?"

"Seven years. Seven years of wedded bliss. Seven out of 44 is not too bad, eh?"

Methinks that I smell the aroma of sour grapes. You know, there is a reason why suicide rates are much higher for single people than married people. Relationships: spouses, friends, children, family, workmates, riding buddies, are what really makes life worthwhile. A loving spouse isn't the only relationship, but it certainly is an important one.

I was married 23 years and my wife died of cancer,lived with a women 11 years moved out still went with her for another 6 years and finally broke it off 6 years ago.I stand by what I said about happiness. When your young your mother is your boss then a girl friend,then a wife,then at 67 I became free at last.Anyway all a women ever thinks about is sex.
