Mine have been married 49 years too as of this past February, but they stopped acting like teenagers long before I was born.

SkydiveStMarys 0 #7 March 19, 2008 I wish I could say that about mine. Don't get me wrong, they love each other, but they act like an old married couple!! PLUS my Mom is hiding from the grim reaper, she doesn't go out much. (she literally told me that she is hiding from the Grim Reaper....)Sad really but they have a cute lil condo and a fuzzy cat and she gets her hair done every wednesday. My dad is VERY active so they do clash about that from time to time. He is 83 soon to be 84 and walks or swims 3 miles a day, 5 days a week.Bobbi A miracle is not defined by an event.

AllisonH 0 #9 March 19, 2008 Hmm, I think my mom and stepdad have been married around 17 years? And my dad and stepmom maybe 15-16? My grandparents had been married 64 1/2 years when my grandpa died - I was born a week before their 50th anniversary. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildfan75 1 #10 March 19, 2008 My parents have been divorced for 26 years, but my grandparents will hit something like 66 or 67 years this summer. Grandpa finally gave up driving this year and although Grandma is legally blind, she still does their finances (its amazing what you can do with a light and a magnfy glass). They are the ones that are going to do the "Funky Chicken" on their 75th wedding anniversary!* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkydiveStMarys 0 #12 March 19, 2008 June 16 for my parents. My parents live in the same county that we grew up in and the house I was raised in is about 5 miles away, so when I go home I ALWAYS drive past just to check up on it. My brother lives three doors down from the high school I attended, so when I visit I get to "check" that out too.Funny how things change but if you look close enough, still stay the same.....

usedtajump 1 #17 March 19, 2008 70 years last year but they both died last year within four months of each other at 92 years old. WTH, they had a great run. The older I get the less I care who I piss off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squeak 17 #18 March 19, 2008 Quote 70 years last year but they both died last year within four months of each other at 92 years old. WTH, they had a great run. That's very common with older couples who have been together for a very long time. within months of one spouse passing the other dies aswell. I like think of it as an amazing loving bondYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing?

Shotgun 1 #19 March 19, 2008 My parents have been divorced for 33 years. But my mom and stepfather have been married for 32 years, and my dad and stepmother have been married about 22 years. That's my dad's fourth marriage. Obviously, the others didn't last so long. But at least he seems really happy in this marriage, and my mother seems happy in hers. And I like both of my step-parents, my half-brother, my two step-brothers, and my step-sister (and my "real" sister too), so I guess I can forgive my parents for the divorce.

JerryBaumchen 1,424 #20 March 19, 2008 Hi StMarys, Interesting question; my Mom & Step-Dad were married for 52 yrs, he died back in '97 at 89 y/o. Now for the other side of that inquiry: My Father (the biological one) was married 14 times, to 11 women; yup, married three of them twice. WHAT A MAN!!!!!

airdvr 210 #25 March 19, 2008 My folks got married in 1951. They bicker and argue constantly. I don't think they like eachother all that much but after 57 years I kinda get it. I think, for them it's kind of like being institutionalized. After that many years its easier to stay together than leave.Please don't dent the planet.
