With two working parents, five kids wth all their activities and occasional "disagreements" concerning money, an occasional wrench got thrown into the works. We survived it all and have been married 39 years.

Bless your wife. 48 years damn that's good. Congratulations to you both a real accomplishment. Mom deserves a special meal. Try that Rose Plantation, you won't be disappointed. Bless you also Mr. Dave. Wicked good!

I was sadden when my daughter divorced and surprised when she said to us "You and Mom made it look easy".

I apologized explaining that we believed the difficult parts of marriage ought to remain between husband and wife. We were reared in the age of reticence

How true Rubicon, we were never allowed to see any problems in the home. My Mother was the strong partner and my Father liked a quiet life. In my case we are both very strong willed, but we make it work.

45 years this November. Good times, bad times, sad times. its a work in progress, never take anything for granted.

From Pittsburgh. We'll be married 47 years in August. My divorced friends used to tell me how lucky I was to have my husband. So true. But I did point out it takes two to tango. Our two sons and their spouses say they are the only ones of their friends whose parents have had just one marriage. I like to think the examples shown by the three sets of parents taught them about commitment.

It helps that he likes cats and dogs. And travel. And anything I cook. Lately. Early on, I'm not so sure.

If a girlfriend is still holding the cutlery after making the meal and I am trying it; I am making her out to be usually the next Top Chef.

Many of our friends have been divorced a couple of times. And many are widowed. Many are living together as a couple to preserve their inheritances for their heirs.

Sometimes I think that the only folks who want to get married anymore are gay.

Gracie darling, Honey and I have been together since 1976; we got married in 2004 when several brilliant Massachusetts Supreme Court justices declared it unconstitutional to deny marriage rights to same-sex couples. I knew he was he right guy then, and haven't dated another man since.

Love is a wonderful thing. Marriage is a complicated thing. Many of us have managed to circumvent the roadblocks and find enduring happiness. I am grateful and happy to be around people who enjoy each other and live comfortably together.

I am thinking that our happiness has more to do with luck than sense. Many of our friends didn't find the right person on their first try, but are happy in their second or third marriage. Some are living with people that are very challenging.

I celebrate your happiness HenryK. The love of my life is named Henry too.

Happy Wife, Happy Life.

If my Bride is happy, I B 2.

Thru thick or thin..............but we don't talk about who is thick or thin.
