Scarlett
By Scarlett

Having just celebrated my 28th wedding anniversary (yes, to the same man!) I started wondering how many years all of you married folks have been married? Dweller, I'm thinking you are going to beat me on this one...but we'll see!!

Ok second part...how MANY times have you been married?

that have made it as far as you have! Life is never easy but to make it for so long with the same person and still enjoy each other's company is just icing on the cake!!

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

A woman woke in the middle of the night to find her husband missing from their bed. In the stillness of the house, she could hear a muffled sound downstairs. She went downstairs and looked around, still not finding her husband.

Listening again, she could definitely hear moaning. She went down to the basement where she finally found her husband crouched in the corner facing the wall, sobbing.

“What’s wrong with you?” she asked him.

“Remember when your father caught us having sex when you were sixteen?” he replied. “And remember he said I had two choices: I could either marry you, or spend the next twenty years in prison.”

Baffled, she said, “Yes, I remember, so what?”

The husband sobbed, “I would have gotten out today.”

I've been married for 30 years to the same guy. He has traveled the world and this is the first time I have given up my career of teaching to join him. When people ask, "How have you stayed married for so long?" My husband says. "We live on different continents!"

In all honesty, we not only love each other...we LIKE each other. We make each other laugh all the time. When times are tough, we know we can count on each other. Kinda like peas and carrots...we just go well together.

Congrats Scarlet!

He beat me in a cooking competition when we were first married - I forgot to defrost the cheesecake, so there was a delay of 4 hours between main course and dessert. We made good use of the time ;o)

I'm sure you will last 50 years, dmighty - It just takes good manners and a sense of humour!

Had he not been so good at washing-up, sewing and ironing, the marriage would NEVER have lasted this long - he's like a Mother to me!

Wonderful! past the 3 year itch and the 7 year itch.. ;0)

/Having said that and on another note, there are exceptions to the general rule. I once met a married businessman, married for 20 years or so, with grown up kids and he wanted to get with me. I diplomatically told him to get lost. But well, you get my point. The 1st thing I thought of was that he was just a player but it turned out that he was actually quite serious. I was just short of telling him to his face that I don't respect a man who does not honour his commitments but thought he might not recover from that statement so I just avoided him.

30 Years to the same hub.

Would have been longer, but he turned me down the first time (8 years earlier) 'THAT'S ONE', so I married someone else and bided my time until he came back to his senses. ;o)

/On another note, "quietly said" - guys tend to presume that quietness means their girl is well under control, submitting to their egocentric authority and they go on their merry way, granite heads bulldozing their way through. They don't listen because when their girl met Mr. Right, he was Mr. Always Right.

Lol! Btw, silence is not always golden.

each other all the time....we spent over 18 years togather.

I still don't know how did I managed to hold my marriage with the same person for so long.

Even at this stage of life, I feel that I need to understand her and her psychology.

Lets hope and wish that I shall continue to hold the fort as long as I live.

However congrats Scarlet for happily married with the same person for 28 years!

Congrats to all the long term warriors who have made it through the good times and the rough ones. I now know who to ask for advice if necessary. ;0)

And Dracula's "Secret to a Long and Happy Marriage" - sounds like something I'd do. But I always give 3 chances, and "shoot" on the 4th. In long term, committed ones, much more patience... but there's always a limit and warnings (not just hints) communicated and time/opportunity to rectify the issue. If taken for granted... too bad.

The Secret to a Long and Happy Marriage

A couple was celebrating their 75th wedding anniversary on the beach in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

Their domestic tranquility had long been the talk of the town.

"What a peaceful & loving couple".

A local newspaper reporter was inquiring as to the secret of their long and happy marriage.

"Well, it dates back to our honeymoon in America ," explained the man.

"We visited the Grand Canyon in Arizona and took a trip down to the bottom of the canyon by horse. We hadn't gone too far when my wife's horse stumbled and she almost fell off."

My wife looked down at the horse and quietly said, "That's one."

We proceeded a little further and the horse stumbled again, this time causing her to drop her water.

Once more my wife quietly said, "That's two."

We hadn't gone a half-mile when the horse stumbled for a third time.

My wife quietly removed a revolver from her purse and shot the horse dead.

I shouted at her, "What's wrong with you, Woman! Why did you shoot the poor animal like that? Are you crazy??"

She looked at me, and quietly said, "That's one."

"And from that moment we have lived happily ever after".
