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.

51 here. We were toddlers.

It's the new math.

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................

we are both 66, married June 21, 1969, 2 weeks after college graduation

I'd bet the two of you got a lot of Huggies as wedding gifts! Have they run out yet or did you trade them in for a lifetime supply of hugs?

[Thnonne]

66 and 67, July 20th will be our 45th.

[patfla06]

It's 31 years for us.
Will be full time when we sell our house.

[billethkid]

both are 76 married 57 years....as active as many intheir 50's.

The numbers are merely points of reference as there are those who are younger but older and those of us who are older but younger. This is so apparent in TV.
