That divorce thread is pretty depressing so lets start a thread for everyone here who is happily married!

My parents just celebrated 30 years this week and I take the plunge myself on October 6th!

Dated for 7 years prior to getting married for the exact reasons why none of us like that divorced thread. 15 1/2 years of marriage, and 4 kids later, I've been with my beautiful bride (yes, she is looking over my shoulder reading this right now) for a total of 22 1/2 years.

I had three rules before I would get married.

1 - I had to be at least 30
2- I had to know the girl for at least three years before I would ask for her hand
3- I wanted to live together before I asked her to marry

Sticking to those rules weeded out a few along the way

12 years with this wife.

I judge my marriage by it's merits.
Ya can't dwell on the thing you don't like.
I'll never get those 2 lesbians in bed with us, but wife will endure Disneyland with me.

Anything critical you want to say, save it until the next day and you'll be glad then that you didn't say it. Deny yourself that cheap shot until tomorrow.

Don't let money be a problem. Live below your means.

You do something stupid to make her flame of love go out, it won't re-light. You can re-light yours, women won't.

Never, ever pressure her into doing something she doesn't want to do.

Keep all the females in your families (read that plural) separated.

Met my wife at Club Diegos in Solana Beach. It's the city hall now I think lol.


We celebrated 29 years in July. We have 3 daughters ages 22, 25, and 27.

We renewed our vows on Shipwreck beach on our 25th...kind of a tribute to our rocky relationship lol

16 years married this November. She’s my best friend with a vagina. Lol! I say that because there is a learning curve. No matter how great of a sense of humor she has, sometimes she’s a woman. I’ll also add it works if both sides are in it for keeps.

Her 40th

My wife and I have been hitched for 17 years - 8-11-01
We have accomplished more together than we could ever do individually.

She is my best friend and makes me want to be a better person.
