I was 18 and my dh was 24 when we got married Oct. 26 1074. So this Oct. 26 it will be 28 yrs. At my wedding I found out later, they were taking bets as to how long our marriage would last as I really was a young 18 yrs. old. My parents have been married for 58 yrs. but his parents divorced after 27 and have remarried other people who are more suited to them.

I was 22, DH was 23. It'll be 7 years tomorrow. Our parents are still going strong at 33 years each set.

LOL! Tigercat! You were married in 1074!? Sorry, I like to tease.

I am glad to see I am not quite the oldest or longest married on here!

My first marriage was for 4 years and I was 23 when we tied the knot. DW and I have been married for 30 years and I was 30 years old when we married. This marriage has been as great, as the first one was bad.

Married at 19 and have been married now for 18 1/2 years! We always hear around us of other couples having extra marital affairs, and we always laugh about "who the heck has TIME for that?"

Those of you who have been married a long time, what's your secret?

I can't remember where I heard this, but early in our marriage I was told that when your in the middle of an argument, think about whether you'll be happy you "defended your position" when you wake up in the morning and you'll probably back away from a lot of silly fights.

It has definitely been true for me.

It also helps that I found the most wonderful woman in the world!

Separate bathrooms. Seriously.

I'll be married 28 years in December. My mom (Aunt Jo and leader of this little contest, so far) and dad will celebrate 55 years in December. My in-laws just celebrated 50 years in July. The common denominator?

Separate bathrooms!!!

Okay... I 'm going to tell you...
I married 4 days before I turned 17... this Nov 6 it will be 30 years..
It's hard to believe that its been that long...
I married my best friend..
I know we were young in years, but we both came from broken homes..
the only secret I have is..
You have to enjoy being together..
and I mean being together, talking...
Not going out..My heart still beats that funny beat when he comes home.
Everyone said it would only last 6 months.. if I could see them I would tell them, it feels like we have only been married 6 months..
