Hearing it's Mr. & Mrs. WildIrish's 15th wedding anniversary ( Happy Anniversary! ) I started wondering when you hear people have been together for _____ many years does it make you think..."geez that's a long time"??? In today's climate of serial monogamy what is a long length of time for a realtionship, from your point of view?

Congrats to you and the saintly missus, WI!

And Irish and his wife just celebrated 40 years of wedded bliss in May!

I used to think that about ten years, then fifteen, now it's twenty. I raise it so I don't have to think about "damn have I been married a long time!". ha ha

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

Isn't long when it's been longer than you can bear?

My 18 years with my ex went like a bullet.

I always figured 5 years was a long time, till I got there...now it's 10. (We're nearly at 9).

But it raises a question I've always had...when you say you've been together for a long time, how do you count it? Dating? Sleeping together (if different, <blush>)? Living together? Married?

......about as long as a piece of string


happy anniversary to WI and his beautiful wife
here's to many more.... "a life of years, free of tears..."

I just recently (a few weeks ago) heard the sweetest story about just this subject.

A couple in England, by the last name of Aerosmith (yoooohooo!) were documented by the Guinness <sp?> people as being the oldest living married couple on the planet. The reason the story had aired is because, at 104 y/o, Mr. Aerosmith had died after 80 years of bliss with Mrs. Aerosmith. She is 102 y/o...and I am saddened to think that she'll not last much longer after losing the love of her life...and everyone else's life who had come and gone before them!

He'd given a statement as to the longevity of their marriage..."I say Yes Dear a lot"!

Everyone say...Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Happy Anniversary WI and Mrs. WI! May the next 65+ years be as wonderful!

Congrats on 15 years WI!

This is REAL spooky y'know; I got married to my Ex on the SAME day as you and Mrs WI tied the knot - July 14 1990.
In my case, I've thought for a while now that it being "Bastille Day" in France was quite appropriate for us, given how often we fought!!

Anyhow, I digress - hope you two had a fuck-tastic day/night...... and here's to many more years together!!

Cheers.
