Congratulations!

It's funny, my great grandparents made it to 76 or 77 years together. In my teens I couldn't wrap my head around it. Now I've been with Mrs. Glamrock for 25 years and and can't wrap my mind around life without her. I wish you both the very best and many more happy anniversaries!

Now we're just two old fogies bumming around together, making sure the other one doesn't forget to take their pills.

Finding true love and partnership is a beautiful thing, shraby. Many folks spend a lifetime, often leaving a wake of hurt, only to have a few years of this. How awesome is it that you two found each other when you did! This love, between spouses, is especially lovely. You don't choose your parents, siblings, or children. You do choose your spouse. Cheers to you and Mr. Shraby!

You know, 50% off marriages end in divorce. **snicker**

Have an amazing day with your one and only!

I'm going to assume this is your first marriage
Well done!
Too many people throw in the towel after the initial infatuation stage wears off and they start seeing the other person as human with flaws as well as having their own ideas about what is and what should be. I believe that it is in this stage is where a real, lasting relationship develops.
