[laKavosiey-st lion]

what’s your number, what’s your secret?
mine is I let her lead, we still laugh her Dad (rip) pulled me aside and told me “you don’t want to marry her” (he said with real concern). Married a year out of State, split the cost of her engagement ring ($400 ea) and set forth. Didn’t have a pot to piss in and gave zero fvcks. 2 sons and still cooking, no regrets. Hope we get 20 more.

 

[LionJim]

37 for me and Mrs Lion Jim. My secret: I don’t post on social media during our anniversary dinners.

Congratulations Rick and Mrs Rick.

Congrats! This year is 15 for us; dated for five and lived together for three before getting married. Then four years of travel before having kids. Patience has been key - as is shared beliefs and interests (but also allowing time for things we like to do separately). What are you drinking?

50 years

[TiogaLion]

Mine will be our 35th. We have enough common interests that we like to be with each other and we take care of each other. That and I'm pretty sure she'd hunt me down and kill me if I tried to get away.

 

[Connorpozlee]

Mine will be 25 in July. We split the cost of her $250 ring (we both had just finished two years of Christian mission work earning a $125 monthly stipend, each).
I suggest putting the phone down and enjoy the celebration.

21 years for me and Mrs. LNB. Our secret is our common faith in Christ. The rain and wind will come but if your marriage has a solid foundation it will stand the test of time. Mat 7:24-27

17+ for my partner and me.

 

[Moogy]

"Dated" for 9 years, living together for 8 of those ... and have now been married going on 18 years.

Honestly, the marriage part of it was anti-climatic, and only to have kids and make it traditional for them (and us). We knew we were each other's "one" long, long before we signed the contract.

There's no secret to it ... we just respect the hell out of each other, and while we don't take each other for granted, we simply understand that it's her and me, no matter what. When you know, you know.

 

[TiogaLion]

17+ for my partner and me.

A little off topic, but after 17 years why don't you just marry your partner?

Just passed the 13 year mark of meeting my sig other. Don’t know if we’ll ever make it official, but with a 10 year old and nearly 12 years in our home, there’s no lack of commitment.

Mrs. G and I are at 51 years, but today is a date I always remember and celebrate. It is the 58th anniversary of our 1st date. Summoning every ounce of courage I had, I asked her to the prom even though I had never asked her out before. My boldness paid off. She accepted and then I suggested it might be best if the prom, which was in June, were not our 1st date. She agreed and so today, a Saturday in 1966, we went to a movie. She was the prettiest girl in the school. More than that, she was the prettiest girl I had ever seen, before or since. Smart (MBA) and charming, with a great sense of humor, I made the best decision of my life at age 17.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

My brother. Feel good yes?

Well, that's sort of a contradiction. Further, if she's anything like every other female on earth...well, watch the video.

I was in Appalachia. Life changing decision. Met my wife down here and haven’t left Kentucky since. Quite a story of how it all came together, honestly.

 

[OuiRPSU]

Wife and I grew up in adjacent towns and our parents’ houses were literally 5 minutes from each other. Both went to PSU. Didn’t meet until after we graduated. Married 32+ years and together for 35.

Secret - Respect, communication, and tons of sex.

 

[rudedude]

28 years here for #2, #1 was 12 years with a wonderful son. Congrats laKovsiey-st Lion& moms!

Son 1 was applying to PENN so we efforted to beef up his resume with some cool volunteer stuff. We went to Haiti for 10 days and helped wire and solar his cousins mission house. This was 18? months after the earthquake and S was real. A great experience (but didn’t get into PENN) but all good 2s company may send him to Wharton so full circle I guess.
point of the story (drunken) is complaining about the day to day in this country falls on deaf Rick ears
