My parents = 82 years, and still ongoing at this moment.

Wow! Congrats to them.

Best I can offer is my grandparents at 49 years before Grandpa passed.

Mazel Tov! to them from me.

I hit 8 years in May. My great grandparents lasted about 70 years before my Pawpaw passed away.

Married for 82 years? Or 82 and still married?

My parents have been married 60 some-odd years. They're pikers compared to your parents! Congrats to them. Marriage isn't for wimps.....

Me and my wife, only 21 years. I'll be 119, before can match them.

wife and I hit 60 years last May.

Damn Q. My grandparents just celebrated 60 years together this past Thursday and I thought they were doing pretty good. Gotta tell them to hang in there for a couple more decades

ETA: Congrats Elk.

My wife and I have been together for 33 years. Married for 24 years and will stay married until the day we die

I know a couple that has been married for 73 or 74 years. They're in their 90s and they married young. He still plants and tends an impressive garden.

Well my wife and I just hit 35 on Monday..I guess I'm still a rookie!

My family tree software has advised me that one of my cousins and her husband will have been married 62 years shortly.

My in-laws. 61 years.

They have 12 kids, 84 grandchildren, and 40+ (and counting) great-grandchildren.

We had a little party for my in-laws for their 60th last year. Immediate family only.

Met her in a German village about 60 miles from where I was stationed. There was a big party going on in the Gastehaus where I was staying. A bunch of WW2 soldier survivors, by pure coincidence got together for an impromptu party.

I spoke about 3 words of German (bier, taxi, fraulein. The woman who owned that gastehaus asked this girl to explain to me that there were to be no girls in the room. She was working in Frankfurt and had to leave for the train at 0530. I escorted her to the bus, rode the train with her to Frankfurt, rode the train, bus back to the village for the next 4 days.

I was told later by a reliable source that she had told her parents 2 days after we met that she was going to marry me. They all laughed.

Guess we got the last laugh. I spent 11 years in Germany, and was closer to her family than to my own here in the states.

My paternal grandparents were married at age 19 and the know it alls told them it’d never last. They were still happily married 72 years later when my grandfather passed away.
