    Default Marriage Questions ???

    Something that the wife and were talking about the other night...

    We have very very very few friends or acquaintances that have been married to their first spouse for any length of time...

    First some background
    We have been together 19 years married for 9
    We thought of exactly 3 couples that fall into those kind of numbers that are still with their first spouse...
    Not to brag, but we know a lot of people..

    So how about here on this forum, see I think we tend to be a bit more old fashioned here, even though we are a varied group, by the normal standards, I think maybe this poll will show that we are a bit more traditional when it comes to marriage too besides just the way we choose to shave...

    I'm still with my first wife. 37 years next month. I can barely remember being single. But then I can barely remember which soap I used yesterday.

    I was married to my first for 13 years. We are still friends to this day. My second marriage has lasted 11 years this coming december and God willing it will remain strong till death and the hereafter.

    Still married to my first wife after 30 years. We were together for 5 years before we got married. She is very patient and forgiving and I am very good at apologizing.

    Prior to meeting my wife, I hadn't had a relationship for almost 3 years (not because I couldn't, but because I was fed up with them and wanted to focus on my career). We were together for 3 years before getting married and have been married for almost 10 years and we can't imagine life any other way. She calls me an "old soul" because I like so many things that are from eras past.

    26 years for me. Patient, forgiving and I will throw in a sense of humor.
