(me -57, him 61) We've been married 35 years, but have been together for 38. There have been MANY bumps along the way, but somehow we have managed to survive them. There have been many disagreements over money and children, as was mentioned earlier, these are obstacles that set you up for failure. I would joke with my friends that it was a 'love hate -relationship.' We raised five children, and quite a mixed salad, may I add. A good deal of our time was spent working and trying to keep our heads above water. Our kids didn't get everything that they wanted, but they did get everything that they needed. Believe me, I am not complaining, because we have been so fortunate in so many ways! Much of this has made us stronger. My husband is my best friend. We laugh a lot together. Now, it's our time. We've been preparing to sell our house. LOL. A few more disagreements! One thing that we do agree on is- we plan on heading to TV to play.

Our wedding song - We've Only Just Begun ( by The Carpenters)
When the Carpenters' song- Rainy Days and Monday comes on the radio, he always yells out "hey, they're playing our song!"
