DH and I just celebrated 22 years also on this past Friday the 13th! We met when I was 18,he was 19 and married at 21. In November we will be together for 25 years. :happydancing:
I met my boyfriend (or life partner) 3 years ago, and we’ve been living together for 2 years now. For both of us, this is our second “serious” relationship.
And it’s going so well! 
Congrats to everyone on their long marriages. To those that are getting married in their 20’s I sometime think you have a better chance of staying married that those gettting married in their 30’s as then we are kind of set in out ways and somewhat resistant to change 
My parents were high school sweethearts, never dated anyone other than each other and they have been married 36yrs. They got married while my father was enlisted in the Navy and in college and my mother was completing her Master’s. They got engaged on Thanksgiving break while they were both home, married over winter break and she moved across the country with him. No money, no big paychecks, just each other.
My DH and I married at 30 and we will be celebrating our 1st anniversary this August !!
FH? Is that a typo or some acronym I’m not familiar with? :??
We’ve been married 33 yrs next September.
Congratulations on 10 years Sandy, and Congrats to all the happy couples … and happy divorcees.
I’ve been with my high school sweetheart for 17 years, married for 15 of em. I too got married when I was 19, he was 20 and we had a 7 month old by then.
I love telling people that the statistics about young couples aren’t always true. We got started early and have had a long, strong relationship all this time. We’re still the SAME crazy-in-love couple we were in high school, just with a couple teenagers, a few cars and a mortgage.
DH and I met in December of 1997…married in December of 1999…and this year is 10 years of rollercoaster up and down from bliss to fury back to bliss again.
And I like it that way. :roflhard:
Its getting so werid now…Ill be knitting thinking something about something right that minute, and I kid you not, he opens his mouth and says the SAME THING IM THINKING at that EXACT moment.
Kinda funny…yet disturbing. Ive told him to quit talking when we watch movies, cause he always pops off with the same comments Im thinking. :roflhard::roflhard:

I agree. Not only were we young when we got married, but we already had a child together (I had her when I was 16) and he was in the navy so there were a lot of people trying to talk us out of it and saying it wouldn’t work. :yadda: Whatever.
No, the odds were definitely not in our favor, but it really ticked me off that people automatically assumed we would fail. Not cool. Now when I see those people I feel very smug. :teehee:
dated off and on since January 1998, became “official” in November 1999, moved in together in July 2001, married November 2002.
Well, only Mimi has been married longer than I so far. We are going to have our 35th anniversary this November. I tell everyone I got married when I was -10! :lol:
He is the most extraordinary man to put up with me and love me the way he does. He takes me at face value and tells me he loves me every day. The most touching thing he does everyday is when he comes to bed he gives me a kiss. He could be furious at me, but I get that kiss every night. It sometimes is on my head, my shoulder, whatever he can touch in the dark, but I have never not gotten a good night kiss except when he was in the Navy and was out to sea. He would then give me little X’s for everyday he was gone in the letters he sent! I can honestly say he is my very very best friend and I wouldn’t want to live without him.
As for you, Mason: You are a seriously bad, bad man…:lol: :lol:

I try
19 must be a popular age for women to get married. I was 19 when my DH and I got married, 41 years ago.
I was married the first time at 16, he was 19. Had a baby at 17, divorced at 18.
The second time around, I was 28, DH was 33. We will be celebrating our 17th next month.
My hubby and I have been together for almost 6 years, but we are just coming up on our 1 year anniversary. (We were both really reluctant to get married too young)
ME TOO!! A year or so into our marriage we found out that not only some of our best friends, but family members too, were swearing that we wouldn’t last!!!
Since then, we’ve seen 6 other couples marry and divorce… all of them friends or family, some of the same ones who said DH and I wouldn’t make it. One in particular, the biggest nay-sayer is currently on a REALLY rocky road only 2 years into his marriage. I don’t like to feel this way, but I really can’t help but feel a little smug too. :teehee:
Now people just ask us how we do it. I don’t know… I think some people are just made for each other. DH and I are “like peas n carrots”. 
And I had good role models. My parents are still married after 37 years.
I got married right before I turned 27, and I can’t imagine doing it any sooner - at that I sometimes felt too young! We married about a year after we met, and it’s been almost 6 awesome years! He’s got quirks, but I think and thank for how lucky I am every day.
Coulsnt agree with you more, SIlver!
I split with my 1st hubby in like August of 1997. Met 2nd in Dec of 1997…and quit dating. Everyone told me I was going too fast, blah blah…I had my daughter to think about…
But really…when the cute guy who works at the newspaper calls you and asks you for a date, and you tell him you cant, cause you dont have a babysitter…OFFERS TO TAKE YOU BOTH TO McDs…how can you NOT like him from the get go?
We started dating, and for 2 years it was awesome…and to this very day…Im so sad that he and I didnt meet each other first.
We actually lived down the street from each other in the late 80s. :roflhard:
Met him in fall of 2000 when I was 19… engaged in spring 2001… married in 2004- so this fall we will have been together for seven years, and we have been married for three years. So far- we’re still wonderfully happy!
It will be 5 yrs for me & DH on Sept. 14!!! We’ll all be celebrating together! :clink:
We met when we were 21, the summer before our senior year of college. Got engaged 4 months later, got married 9 months later. All our friends and family told us we were nuts. We were the first ones of all our friends to get married. But after all this time, we’re probably happier than all of them combined!
Umm… 
Looks like I have the newest relationship so far.
We met on another board online (NOT a dating site!) last summer, had our first Yahoo chat New Year’s weekend and he moved out here from the East Coast the beginning of May. It’s looking pretty serious/permanent. 
:drool: 
So I guess 7 1/2 months? :shrug:
LL
I have been married almost 15 years. Our anniversery is in September. I was 24 and he was 26 when we got married.
