"We were married in our twenties,over fifty years ago.
He was handsome,I was pretty.
There was much we did not know.
For all I ever wanted there was something else instead.
But now the only thing that matters is:
My Sweet Old Man is dead"

Larry Burton

What the Hell.Something to cry about if you're in that frame of mind.

Yup - my mum and dad were married for 63.5 years....... he died last year............ but they met over 70 years before he died and got engaged when I think he was 21 and she was 16 - something like 68 years together from engagement until he died...... not bad going! thumbs up

My late husband and I made it 36 years. Could write a book on the do's and dont's of staying married, but too many of them out there already. With the divorce rate climbing constantly I think some just give up. dunno
