I'd like to find out just how many "Villagers" are still in long term marriages, such as we are. We will reach the big "50" in 2015. 1965 to 2015.

Also, does anyone know the breakdown of age groups?

Such as, are there any in their 80's and 90's still residing in their own homes in The Villages???

What about in their 60's and 70's????

I had assumed it was a retirement community........however, now I'm thinking that I misunderstood totally.......just having read it is considered an adult community. Obviously, we are all adults. Just wondering what the breakdown is of long marrieds, plus those who have enjoyed longevity and still live in their own homes in THE VILLAGES.

Thanks in advance................

66, 69, and coming up on 43 years of marriage. When our son and d-i-l went for pre-marital counseling at our church, they were the only two of their group of friends who didn't come from a single parent or blended family. They felt fortunate to have grown up in their family situations.

Senior there are a lot of folks here in their sixties and seventies who are on their second, third or fourth marriage. I am guessing that maybe a third are on their first marriage. I don't know why I think a third. What do others think?

I also know several folks in their eighties and nineties and even one who is 101 who are enjoying living in their own homes without any care.

I am 70 and my husband is 73. We were married 50 years in February. Our church (The Chapel of Christian Faith) publishes a list of anniversaries every month. Usually 50 years are the newly weds. We have couples celebrating 60, 65, even 70 years of marriage.

I don't believe that you will find any valid statistic on long-term marriages or ages here in TV. The Developer may have age statistics Because of the 80/20 rule. We find in talking with neighbors and others in TV that there are a lot of long-term marriages. Actually, more than I expected----and I don't know why I had that expectation except the divorce rate is now more than fifty percent. When we left in May for our "summer vacation", our group of close friends had 3 couples with over 150 years of marriage and one with five at our dinner table. Yesterday my wife and I celebrated our 53rd! We were teenagers when we married----thanks for asking.
