We were married a month after my 29th birthday, and we had our 29th anniversary a month ago. Yesterday I had been married exactly half my life, and today I have been married longer than I was not!
Where does the time go?
We were married a month after my 29th birthday, and we had our 29th anniversary a month ago. Yesterday I had been married exactly half my life, and today I have been married longer than I was not!
Where does the time go?
I was married a couple weeks before I turned 22, I am now 45. I don’t recall all that much before meeting my future wife in 1988. Life is pretty much split into years before and years after. We are both pretty happy.
Hey man, that’s cool! Congrats!
I will reach your milestone in a little more than 3 years as my wife and I married when I was 28 and I am 53 now.
As of today I have been divorced for almost 59% of my life.
Congrats to someone who has stayed married and happy!
I’ve been with the same woman since I was under 20 - back in late 1976. To borrow a line from several comics, had I done anything else that day I would be off parole by now!
I just clicked in to make sure the OP was not just now turning 25.
Who said anything about happy?
(I kid, I kid!)
Congrats to you and Mrs. Cadfael!
I was 26 when we married, and that was 33 years ago. Or else it was six weeks ago - sometimes that’s how it feels. And I still have no idea what she is going to say next.

Congratulations. However I apologize in advance because I am required to add the following;
If you killed her on your wedding night you’d be out by now.
I don’t expect that’s something you would hear many incarcerated felons say, so… congratulations on a happy marriage!
Congrats. I’ve got a bit over 2 years left to make that milestone although we started later than most folks, so it’s taking us a little longer than most folks to get there.
Good times indeed.
Married at age 30 and we’ll be celebrating anniversary 33 this month.
Been married longer than I wasn’t.
Been a doctor longer than I wasn’t.
Been clean and sober longer than I wasn’t (If I count those first 13 years of youthful abstinence as clean and sober ones, anyway).
Future goals: Being on SDMB longer than I wasn’t. Being an MI survivor longer than I’d not had an MI (18+ years in so far on that one).
Congrats to BrotherCadfael on achieving that status.
Congrats and welcome to the club!
I was married at 25 and am now 51! We started dating, however, when I was 19 so "years with her " far out number “years without her”. I’m in for life without parole and no time off for good behavior. Not that I practice good behavior anyway…
My parents were 22 when they married, and Mom died at 66 so they were married 2/3 of their lives. The nerd in me thinks that’s cool!
Many happy returns, BrotherCadfael!
Michigan can still kill you yet!

Old Michigan steams like a young man’s dreams,
As it tries yet again to destroy me.
My place on the shore of that mighty, deadly lake has been my true home all my life.
I did live for a time in Flint and Livonia, and that was less deadly than I imagined it would be.
Got married at 27. In three more years, should I live so long, I will have spent 2/3 of my life with my mate.
