30 yrs and I can honestly say that if it wasn't for her I would be living in a hooch behind KFC eating chicken bones. 2 great kids who are grown up and on their own. Both retired military. She has been my best friend from the start and I'm lucky to have her.
Still married to the love of my life after 52yrs and 7 days. "nuff said.
Still married for 30 years!!! I am in love and think I would not be the alive without her.
There is "heart-based" love and "brain-based" love.
My first true love (heart-based) broke my heart approximately nine years ago when she told me she didn't love me anymore. Other than putting down my beloved Jack Russell Terrier at age 16, it was the most heart-wrenching experience in my life.
Four years ago, I married a woman who was not a "true love" from a purely emotional standpoint, but one who is a great partner, supportive, and someone I look forward to spending time with. I made a "brain-based" decision to marry her. I was 37 years old at the time and finally mature enough to realize what matters most...because after the sex and lust become less frequent, you better have something else to hang your hat on...so to speak.
Four years into this marriage, I am a far better man than I thought I ever could become....and I love this woman in a deeper way than I never knew existed.
The key, if anyone was to ask...find someone that you can be yourself with and not be made to feel uncomfortable at any time for doing just that.

Married my high school "sweetheart" at 19, she was almost 18, had two kids and thought things were going pretty well...WRONG!!!..She filed for divorce after 4 years as she was sleeping with the guy I rode to work with and told me she fell out of love with me...She got the farm and I got the shaft!!!..Colorado laws in 1963 "sucked"....Anyhow got married again at 26 to the greatest woman in the world and now almost 51 years later, 5 kids, 16 grandkids, we still are together and love each other very much!!! Our deep seated faith in the Lord has played a major role in our lives and we are very grateful and happy....Regards and ride safe

Funny thing I have noticed now that Iam 70.
The stongestcouples that I know have faith in what ever
religion they happen to be.
It took me a long time to start to belive in something myself and start
to give back.
It has helped me get through a world of loss and get over a lot of rage.
Oh, and the wife Ihave now is my lastbecause she said she would kill me if
I asked for a deviorce ˆnice spelling*
So to stay alive I willkeep this one.
Thank you Lord!
