#59956
This troper's parents married in June 1980. Mom and Dad are still deeply in love with each other. BTW, this troper is
the eldest of five, born in '82.
#59957
This troper's parents remained married and faithful to each other until her father's death. Many people don't believe me but that's how it is.
#59959
My parents just celebrated their twentieth wedding anniversary and are still going strong. Keeping with the theme, I'm also the oldest of five.
#59960
My parents celebrated 30 years this past summer. They've been married for longer than either of them were single. I'm the
third and youngest child
#59961
My parents were married on December 13th, and less than two weeks later, the chapel burned down -- theirs was the last wedding ever held in it. Despite these less-than-cheery omens, their marriage has lasted over thirty years so far and is still going strong.

It'll be 35 years for my parents next spring.
#59964
Next year, this troper's parents will celebrate 35 years together. His grandparents will celebrate 65.
#59965
This troper's parents have been married for 20-21 years now. (My mother
converted to Roman Catholicism, and they had to get married twice. It's complicated.) This troper is... the second of three children, but due to some very
Tear Jerky circumstances, has grown up as the oldest. Their parents both divorced, but three out of four of them have remarried and are happy. I consider myself lucky to have so many grandparents. My great-grandparents (specifically, my dad's mom's parents) made it to I believe 64 years before my great-grandfather died.
#59966
My parents made it to 37 years (1966 - 2003) before my father passed away. Using simple math, it's evident they would've made it to 44 years if my father was still living. They started dating in 1960 (50 years ago), when Mom was a freshman in high school and Dad a sophomore, and became neighborhood/school friends in 1950 (60 years ago). I'm 31 (an old person for this site) and their only child.
#59967
My husband and I will be married for ten years in March 2011, and have been together for fifteen. Compared with any of our friends who have been married, we qualify as a LongRunner. In four years, we will have been a couple for half of my entire lifetime.

The 'happily' part was {{lampshaded}} during a recent visit by our best man, when we engaged in the absolute most minimal of quarrels; it was over in under a minute and barely deserved the name. Our best man, however, was floored enough to exclaim, "My God! You ''do'' fight like normal people sometimes!"
#59969
This troper's parents were married in 1976. For their 25th anniversary, they renewed their wedding vows.
#59970
Parents got married in early 1991, around the time I would have been... ah... conceived. They assure me that had nothing to do with it. They'd been in a long term relationship well before then, and had just never really considered actually getting married all that important. They just got the official legal license. Their friends didn't even find out for awhile.
#59971
This troper's parents once managed to reduce her to tears with the sheer strength of this. We were at a wedding in our extended family, and my mother turned and pointed to my father and said, "I am a better person because I am married to my husband. I hope you are as lucky."
Best. Parents. Ever.
#59972
My parents will be married for life. Now, they haven't been married for too long (fifteen years) so who knows what will happen in another fifteen years, but still.

My parents will be married for 42 years next October. My brother and my sister in law will be married for ten years next September, and will have been together for over 17 years as a couple. They've been in love practically from when they met at their college's horse stables.
#59977
My parents were high school sweethearts that got married the moment they graduated. 27 years later and they're still happy together.
#59978
Subverted, then played straight: My parents were both divorcees from their first marriages, and have now been married for twenty years.
#59979
One of this troper's goals in life.
#59980
This Troper's parents have been married for around 24 years, and have repeatedly told me that they're going to stay that way for the rest of their lives.
#59981
This troper's mother and step-father, six years and counting. Both came out of astoundingly dysfunctional first marriages.
#59982
My parents were happily married up until my dad died of cancer, by which time they'd been married for 12 years. They very rarely argued, and were friends before they got married. It didn't work out so well with my stepdad, unfortunately.
#59983
This troper's pastor explained his
Happy Marriage (and a secret to any other) like this. #QUOTE# Pastor: My wife and I have never, ever, even considered divorce. It has never been placed on the table as an option.
Murder? Yes, but never divorce.
#59984
My parents are still in love the only thing that stress them out is me and my two brothers. Heck they still like to travel the world togather and we don't mind if they do.
