I'm at a place in my life where I have been with my wife longer than the period of time that I lived without her. How many of you out there in the same position in life?

Almost double. We got married when I was 24, 45 years ago this coming Tuesday (New Year's Eve)
Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

Pretty much exactly double. Married 2 months before turned 25; 50th anniversary was this past June. Having a worldwide, year-long celebration: next stop: Tasmania and New Zealand.

I just turned 55, my wife is 53. We celebrate 30 years of marriage next November. I'll have you know she's a very patient woman.
We're at a good place in our lives. We love each other and love doing things together. Alas, she has no interest in hunting or shooting but there's none of us perfect.

My Sweet Bride remarked a few years back something about 'its 40-something now, what do YOU think'.....of course I leapt in to comment 'Why Dear it seems like the Best Couple Years of My Life'....course she saw right thru that...
