My husband likes to point out that I said on this board that I would not only never marry again after my first marriage ended but that I’d never even date.
SDMB karma likes to mock us. 
Just celebrated our 41st with a fantastic dinner. Never happier or better. Long term outlook: rosy.
One thing I have learned from this thread: pedantic attention to spelling is not one of the keys to a long-lasting and happy marriage.
It’s complicated. We are both divorced. I sold my house and moved in with her 5ish years ago. We plan to be together till death. We have discussed marriage, but never seem to have the time, plus it won’t really change anything.
Two weeks ago at a marina party she was a bit drunk and introduced me as her husband. I played along. It’s easier than explaining our relationship, and sounds better than SO, mate, BF, GF, etc. So for now we are telling all new acquaintances that we are married.
Depending on the law of where you live, you may in fact be married.
PA got rid of common-law marriage in 2004. If it were possible to be common law married, we’d be happy to do it. AFAICT we are not breaking any laws by presenting ourselves as married. We file singly with the IRS (and even there…I do not remember when I was married ever having to prove it to the IRS).
12 years 9 months+, and the honeymoon isn’t really over yet - our friends still need insulin sometimes. Husbandito tells me he can’t imagine life without me, so I take that as happy.
Skald, knock of the making me THINK about things! 
I’ve been married more than 20 years, and I’m happy about it. My wife and I were married in a little Vermont Episcopal church 24 years ago this August. We have our ups and downs, and neither of us is or ever has been perfect, but I’m a very lucky guy.
Sherbet?
Even though we are very happy together and spend our lives together we are not married. So I didn’t vote but I still want my sherbet.
Married 25 years last week, not happy. In fact, the divorce will be final on December 31st.
Where the $%^&*( sherbert?
Been divorced for coming up 20 years and very happy.
Still single and staying that way.
Just had our 20th this year. First 5 years very happy. Next 5 years some troubles but OK. The last 10 years not happy.
Oh, I’ve been mocked by all kinds of karma. How old were you when your first marriage ended? If I’d been young enough, I could see the possibility of another relationship (maybe) but not now. Too old.
I was 37, so yeah. My statements were probably really silly, even if they hadn’t turned out to be so wrong.
Not at all. I would probably have made the same ‘never again’ declaration at 37. And I’d most likely have been wrong as well.
Thank you, SDMB.
I finally got that perky, damn cursed-to hell-for-all-eternity Pharrell Williams song out of my head, and then I go ahead and click this link…
Damn, damn, damn… :smack:

That said, very contentedly married for 15 years; together for 25.
The Lady sangfroid is a goddess on earth, and I frequently remind her of that. We are very well suited to each other, and are fortunate to have complementary behaviors.
15 years, and very happy.
Married 44 years, very happy. We’re still each others’ best friends. Had a rough couple of years about ten years in, eventually made it through closer than ever.
