How long have your parents been married?
 

Curious whos parents here are on their first marriage, and how long they have been together, interested cause gfy has all countries of the world involved, and would be nice to see some numbers.

My parents have been married for 40 years now.

52 years and holding

Dad died in '77 but my girlfriend's parents have been married over 42 years.

I don't want to know how long people have been married, but rather how long they've been HAPPILY married. I know so many people that stuck it out who shouldn't have.

37 years last week.

My parent have been married 40 years last week. Like most marriages I'm sure they had their ups and downs. I think when guys get older they have to get a hobby to get them out of their spouses hair, otherwise I'm quite certain they would have killed each other by now.

Mine have been married for 25 years, I am 25, lol.

My parents were married 57 years when she died.

25 years i am 23 last week was their anniversary

both my parents have passed away but they were married to each other about 10 years before they divorced

I can tell you how long they haven't been married

my dad did almost 25 until my mom died, and now another 35 and counting on round 2.

46 years.

My dad left when I was 3..so three years

About ten years when my father passed.

Regarding "happily" married, my father was not a happy person. He wasn't happily anything. I suspect that all marriages have ups and downs, that the first months of giddiness always give way to something more mature. Although, my three years of marriage have been pretty awesome. I suspect that is largely because we are each happy people who enjoy our life. We are happy married just as we were happy single. My ex-wife wasn't happy single, wasn't happy married, and isn't happy divorced. So to me "happily married" is a bit misleading. "Happy and married" better describes how it works, I think.

Having said what I did about "happy and married", I have found that the ancient wise men were right. I AM blessed to have found a wife of great character. Her worth IS far above rubies; I do safely trust her and I gain much. I suppose there's a reason that's still quoted 3,000 after Solomon wrote it.

For 35 years now but they doesn`t stay together anymore since 3-4 years ago when my mother left to work in another country.
For their generation was a cult for marriages for my generation is a cult for divorcees ...

24 years yesterday

my aunt died this week. I didnt know but she was with my uncle 47 years. thats pretty impressive. and they would fight daily.

46 years married, quite happy, they met as teenagers 50 years or so ago.

They've been together for ~30 years but they are not married.

1948 to 1988. When my Father died. 40 years.

My parents have been married for 31 years.

More than 43 years .

2 Years before I was born, never met my dad but hes still alive somewhere.

My father died 13 years ago but they were never married. Mom just got married 2 years ago. Grandparents on the other hand have been married 50+ years. Not sure the exact time off hand but insanely long!

less than a year. but i'm a green card biproduct ;)

Dad passed in 2010 but they were married for 37 years.

41 years on July, 4 :)

It will be 40 this year. First marriage for both and still happy.

My parents lasted 15 years before they divorced when I was 12. It shouldn't have lasted that long, but it did.

some 30+ years running, they have had their ups and downs but they still have a very immense passion for each other and share everything. They went through college together and had me as a toddler during their senior year of college. Still they have each other as their best friend and one part of me can envy their never ending love for each other, have seriously NEVER seen them fight.

46 and counting... :pimp

My parents were not married, my father has never married and my mother has been married like 6 times now

How strange. I don't know.

My father died in Vietnam when I was nine months old. I always assumed my mother and father were married, but oddly enough I don't recall ever seeing any wedding pictures or hearing any discussion about a wedding.

Might make an interesting question for my mother, who tends not liking discussion about my father and their relationship.

My inlaws have been married for 52 years.

My parents are on their first marriage and have been married for 40 years.
