They've been married since the mid '80s, and show absolutely no signs of being unhappy.


that is probably means they are terribly unhappy.

l learned a few things from my parents on what makes a long marriage last:
1. repeatedly tell folks about how unhappy you are
2. repeatedly bring up old arguments and wounds from the past.

and most important

3. get good and drunk every night.

made for a long marriage in my parent's case  although they have cut the alcohol out.  but for 30 years the sauce was an integral part of their relationship.

They've been married for 25-26 years, but they're currently in the process of separating. I doubt strongly they'll divorce.

My parents made it to 27 years, mostly unhappy, before divorcing. They married a) the wrong people b) at too young an age. Now each one is nearly 15 years into second marriages.

Been married since, I think, 1979. Maybe 80 or 81.

Married since '93.

They first met less than a month before they married, and they've never had anything stronger than a passionate disagreement. Which is why I find the idea of marrying for love a bit silly, especially seeing the divorce rate.

what's the implication here?  they were an arranged marriage?

True. It's much better to marry based on looks and financial standing. Lord knows I'd hate to marry some poor girl who'd just suck away all my money. Wink

I wouldn't mind getting my marriage arranged... It would make my job a good deal easier.

 My mom was never married and I think that is why I grew up as a "tom boy". I guess I never thought females were necessary since my mom and my girlfriends are immature. But she is doing well. Smiley

My parents got married just so they could get divorced.  It was the year Divorce Court was a big hit in syndication.

Later it turned out those were just actors.  Sad

Gosh. I'm still a mess and my parents were both mature adults even though they fought all the time when I was a kid.
