I have been married to the same wonderfull woman for over 30 years.She has indulged most of my whims and all of my needs.She has given me 2 great kids and so far 7, grandchildren. I would not exist without her. I only hope someone else has this joy too.

Congratulations to the two of you.  You have outlasted about seven average marriages.  The last time I checked the average marriage was around 4 1/2 years.  There is a special love that develops between a man and a woman who have made it as far as you.  Sadly, those who divorce lose the chance to discover it.  BTW, my wife and I are working on 32 years.

This marriage thing is a hardheaded piece of work.
I know that for a fact. The Hen is the most hardheaded person I know and has been for the last 45 years.
I would have shot me.
No jury in Texas, by God, would convict her.

Of all the things in my life, my marriage is the one thing I'm proudest of.  34 years to the same fine woman in March.  Family is where it's at.

Being only married 24 years I feel like the youngster. I see the testimony of all of you and have to agree that we are blessed.

The last two and a half years I've been fighting back from a spinal injury. Its the worst feeling in the world to wake up with your legs not working. With many prayers of family and friends and an intense surgery, I now can wiggle all my toes and walk fairly well. Some days with a slight limp.

My wife and two sons were my strength. Without them it would have been a steep hill to climb alone.

Swampman's statement is Truth!

Thank you for the reminder of God's Blessings.

When I count my blessings I thank God for my wife of 28 years and going
We laugh together we cry together we encourage each other and we share our belief in Christ our Saviour and God our heavenly Father.
P.S she's a pretty good cook too. :D

We have been married for 39 1/2+ years and more in love than ever.  3 children, 3 grandchildren and 1 on the way.  We finally figured out that we are God's gifts to each other.
