How long have you been married/together with your current partner?

Dated for almost 3 years, engaged 1 year, married 19 years this summer. Ups and downs and all arounds, he's still everything to me.
 
Together 22, married for 19 this year.
I threw away his receipt early, *sighs* so I guess I'll have to keep him;-).
 
A lot of long marriages :appl: any "golden anniversaries"? :))

So, in 3 years will you celebrate your 6th anniversary or your 3rd?

In 3 years it will be 6 of being together :) I should've clarified anniversary as in being a couple.
 
Together twenty years, married for 15 this year!

Ironically I was bullied to pick him by my parents whom I have a very difficult and sour relationship with.

They liked him because his family was well off and he was (is) highly intelligent but vague. The perfect combination for them to keep under their thumb.

Unfortunately for them it didn't work out the way they wanted.

He's so sweet. So stable and calm. My only unhappiness with him is that his father (my gorgeous fil) died young so I have this constant fear that he'll died young too. I would say that is the only cloud in our relationship.

Put together with the fact that we really really really love each other I'm paranoid one of us will die young. I know it sounds bizzare but when you're this happy it seems like the only thing that can happen is fate will screw you over

If I resented him I'm sure both of us would live forever waiting for the other one to die so whoever survives could celebrate.
 
Together 44 years and married for almost 36. I was in HS and he was a freshman in college when we met. I truly don't know where the years have gone!
 
14yrs. Not married yet.... no need to rush things, right?
 
It's weird. We have only been together for 21 years but it feels like he has been in my life forever. I can barely remember my life without him.

I wrote a poem this morning in honor of my DH. Just felt like it and when the mood strikes I just do it.
Please skip if you don't want to read anything mushy. And fair warning. I write for me and it is very unsophisticated.
























My true love and I met
21 years ago last fall
He came into my life
And he became my very soul

My sweet and darling dear
Funny, smart and handsome
The true love that we share
Exceptional and then some

Our true love shines each day
Always present and so strong
He makes everything OK
Even when it starts out wrong

Sharing all the todays
All our tomorrows too
Making it all worthwhile
In everything we do
Through the pain and loss
the tears and the sorrows
Through it all, good and bad
Always making me smile

He gives me all I need
And so very much more
The love he has for me
The sweet boy I adore

He has come into my world
Made me who I am
Each day with him unfolds
A rare and precious gem

He gives to me each moment
Unconditional true love
And the love I feel for him
Fills my heart so very much

He is the very best man
I could ever hope to know
Sharing our life hand in hand
Gives me the strength to go on

Life is filled with hardships
Also joyous sweet times
Life has highs and deep blips
But the sun returns to shine

So glad I said I do
Marrying my best friend
That fateful summer day
Then again in autumn
Amidst the snow that lay
On the ground so very cold
Our love so close so near
Knowing forever we would hold
Forever he is my dear
Passion so humble yet bold

How very much I love him
How happy to be his wife
My days forever changed
When he came into my life
Nothing would ever be the same
Though before my life was nice
It quickly changed to so bright
So much fresher and alive

Through the chaos and the fear
I know how much he loves me
I take comfort he is near
He knows I love him truly
He is my forever dear
My heart brims with love fully

Each storm in life we weather
Through wrinkles and grey hair
Lucky to grow old together
Each day with him to share
I take it all in awe
So many years flown past
Feeling grateful and sure
Our love will always last

I think Resa and I started dating in late 1970, possibly in 1971, too long ago to remember. I do know I had no intention of ever getting married when we started to see each other and I told her two weeks later that we should just plan on spending our lives together.

She just laughed and said she knew what I really wanted. I told her I wanted that too, but I really wanted to spend the rest of my live with her. Took her three or four months before she finally agreed.

We were married in August of 1973, so in three more years we will be golden.

What about you, Grandpa Dancing?

We have been married 40 years this July. Together for a year and a half before that. We went to the same high school and had a really small graduating class of 77 kids. We knew who each other were but never said one word to each other in all those years.
 
Missy, I’m so impressed with your poem. Your love for DH shines brightly through your words!

Met 19 years ago, we will celebrate 18 year anniversary in January. Strangely, this crazy time in the world has afforded us the time to connect again. With two teenagers (neither who have drivers licenses yet), we are often like two ships passing in the night, so while being home since 3/13 has been challenging, it’s also had its blessings.

Thank you @yennyfire. Happy belated anniversary to you and your DH. I am glad you are finding the silver lining in the quarantine. I am glad many people here are. One day at a time. We will get through this.
 
34 years married, 35.5 years together. Damn, we old! (Engaged after 6 months of dating, married one year later)

Yes! 50 years (and several months) ago I married the handsome young Air Force Staff Sergeant who took me to my senior prom. He cashed in his government savings bonds to rent a tuxedo and buy me a beautiful corsage. We married a year after I graduated high school, while I was in college. We were too young to know that we were too young to get married. During pre marriage counseling, the base chaplain said it probably wouldn’t last. So glad we didn't listen to him. I can‘t imagine anyone else that I’d rather be in virus isolation with than my DH!
 
Together 12, married 9 ❤️❤️❤️
 
Married in August 1974, so almost 46 years. We had dated for about a year and a half beforehand.
He was my first date and I was his first girlfriend.

Aw, love this! LOL to being too young to know you were too young. Obviously that chaplain was very wrong! Congratulations on 50 years <3
 
Married 42 years, together 45. My brother convinced me that I needed to meet this great guy, so we went on a blind date at a high school dance... been together ever since then!
