Yep, that be us! Mr. and Mr. DMark have been together 31 years today. We’re healthy (doctor’s appointment last week all good news), truly happy and in love. We still do everything together, laugh a lot and appreciate every day together as something to cherish. I doubt we will be getting a card or gift from Rick Santorum, but we are quite happy to be living proof that two guys can love each other, take care of each other, and live happily ever after. ---

Congratulations! (You’re ahead of us, celebrating 20 years this year and still going strong.) May I ask what is the event the anniversary of which you are celebrating today? The day you met? A commitment ceremony? The day you moved in together? I’d like to see more of these stories; there must be more folks in long-term gay relationships here. Step up with your stories, folks! Roddy ---

31? Holy crap, we’ve been on these boards a long time - I recall you talking about being with your spouse for 25 years! Congratulations! Give him a big hug for us, okay? 🙂 ---

You two have single (double?)-handedly destroyed the moral fiber of this country, or so I’ve been led to believe by … some … people. ---

And WHY isn’t the mister a Doper too, hmmm? I mean, you haven’t brought him over to the dark side yet? We have cookies! Congratulations! Hope you will be together as long as my parents, they celebrate their 60th this year. ---

You have been destroying the institution of marriage for 31 years (It’s taking longer than we thought). Seriously, all the best. That’s quite an accomplishment. ---

So are you two legally married anywhere? If not, do you intend to be? (I realize there are millions of straight couples living together with no desire to legally marry, so no judgment, just curious.) ---
