Congratulations! Remember when you were first married and people who were married ten years seemed to have been married a long time? It’s funny now! ---

My wife and I hit 27 years this summer. A few months past that, and we pass my parents, who split when I was fifteen. A minor milestone, I guess. ---

Congratulations! Have you been married longer than you were single? That’s when I knew I was in it for the duration. Or, as my wife puts it, “We are going to keep at this until we get it right!” Regards, Shodan (31 years, so far) ---

Hearty congrats! In recent thread I mentioned we just had our 32nd…and for our 25th (back when we had money) we went to Hawaii to celebrate. 25 is a great milestone! Best wishes for at least another 25! ---

Congradulations. Have many more. for my wife and I divorce has not been an option. But murder has been considered several times. So far after 41 years neither of us have moved to murder. So here we sit fat and happpy most of the time. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/married-twenty-five-years/651826.md?page=2)
