I think if anyone deserved a medal and a half, it should be my poor, sweet mother-in-law. Unselfish and self-scarificing to a fault, she has been married to the same cantankerous character for 58 years and still going strong. And, what's more, he still bugs her every day!!
Met Dave in 1977 - got married in 1980. Our Silver Wedding Anniversary is coming up in October this year, and we are going to spend it in Florida.
Second marriage for us, met in August 1994 got married in August 1996, I had 2 children and he had 1 and we had 2 more together, we are best friends, lovers and true soul mates!!!
P.S We were both divorced when we met so there was no hanky panky LOL!!!

Married in 1969, known him all my life. Sometimes I lean on him sometimes he leans on me. If something separated us I think we would both fall over. That doesn't mean that we don't have some different interests and friends.
I often go to Florida and leave him here working [msnsmile]
We met in 1975 and married December 15 1979. Just cannot believe how fast those years have gone. It definitely gets better and better [msnsmile2]
Been with Michelle for 14 years and married for 8 years - we have two beautiful daughters who are disney mad!!
10 yrs this july but together 15 yrs is september:)

It is very intersting to note how many of us here in this OV 'virtual family' have been happily married for many years, seemingly well above the national average. Perhaps it tells us something about ourselves (apart from the fact that a lot of us are in a certain age group [msnwink])

We were married 4 years later and are still going strong.

He finally asked me[:I] My parents had long given up hope and so had I:D I guess he wanted to be sure and after living together for over 10 years, owning a business together for nearly 9 years, he finally made his mind up:) We had a great day and it was lovely that the children were a part of it. I drove myself and my Dad to the wedding in Wayne's classic car, and we went on honeymoon to Florida (where else;)) with the girls and both sets of parents:D

Lived together for 3 years and married for 27 in July - despite my father (Scottish, Army, Catholic - need I say any more??) threatening Chris with a gun when he discovered we were living together! One year later we got engaged and then they happily threw a big wedding for us while muttering quietly to themselves why couldn't they have done this a year ago and not had all this bother!!

Oh I know that Nostromo, this one is the real thing for keeps and we managed to happily form a very happy family withour 3 children then adding 2 more has made us complete its wonderful, I look on the first one as a trial run[msnwink]
Met Phillip in May 1988 and we got married in July 1989 - so nearly 16 years. I agree with everyone else it gets better and better. 3 kids later and with all bits drooping southwards :D :D we are still happily married.
