Congratulations to you, George.

...and to you and your lady, Edgar!

It's still a good metaphor for married life! Enjoy Hawaii. We were there this past December. Christmas there was beautiful but for a New Englander, surreal.

thanks, george ! we'll be in san diego for 5 days before going on the druise on dec. 6; so we'll be back home by christmas (and snow, no doubt). why am i talking of snow ? still waiting for summer to arrive here - lots of rain. hbg

Our twenty-fifth is next Spring.

Both sets of our parents stayed married--pretty happily. It does seem to make a difference.

I am happy to report that my parents have been married longer than I have been alive.

We've been hooked for 41 years. Our circle of friends have remained the same from the time we were all single. None got divorced, but some our children that have married also divorced. I think we're kind of unique; our group consists of six couples and three single ladies. We have two other couples that we have known outside of our circle, but have been socially close to since we were single. That makes eight couples and three single ladies for us; never divorced.

Is that legal in California?

George, Get with the program; everything (or almost everything) is legal in California? We even have another movie actor as our gov.

Yep, it's a regular achievment. It was my 24th WA this last Monday. Seems as tho the longevity of marriages is alive and well around here

So then it must be true.. the longer you are married to someone, the easier it is to ignore them. hehehe.. Who says marriage is a bad thing???

shewolf -------- that reminds me of a song from the 60s

"Silence Is Golden"

I was told there are only 2 things a man/husband can do wrong.
#1 everything he does
#2 everything he says

Actually there are 3 things...


#3 FORGET about #'s 1 & 2 .

Really.. marriage IS a wonderful thing. I wouldnt trade mine for a million dollars >mumble< just a million and one .

Along with everyone else on this thread , I have a wonderful marriage of 'years' .. ((I never give a time frame. Noone needs to know how many hundreds of years old I really am)) And we met when i was on vacation reuniting with a high school friend after 10 years. We met one day, spent 2 more days together and on the day I was to return to my residential state told each other that we would 'talk again'. I moved to him with in 30 days and we have been together since. As I said earlier in this post.. i wish people wouldn't treat relationships and loving wonderful life experiences with such disregard. Everything is disposable in america it seems and it really sucks.

Forget about 1 & 2. Men who forget things are in deep merde. I forgot a wedding aniversery about 21 years ago. Another song comes to mind, "Memories are made of this" I had a headache for days, a combination of a loud verbal assault & my dinner going thru the window. You can get recurring headaches as well just to keep you on your toes
