Today My Wife and I Have Lived 1/2 Our Lives Together
Edited on Fri Oct-15-10 07:18 PM by rsmith6621

......It is our 25th Anniversary today....We used to be strong Republicans....in 25 years we have grown happily into liberal progressives.

....We support any two people who love each other being joined just like us in loving marriage.

10. Congratulations!
Personally, not ever getting married is the best decision I made not only for myself, but also for whatever unsuspecting female I would have dragged into it.

22. Congrats and happy anniversary!
My husband and I celebrated our 44th today.

We've always been strong liberals and a strong union family.

There is no excuse for preventing any two people who love each other from marrying.

How does one grow from strong Republican to liberal progressive? Where does that journey begin?

26. Congrats...Celebrating 28 Years Today Myself
That's 28 legal...almost 34 years together. We're also lifelong progressives and have always been the best of friends. My wish to any couple getting married is that their lives should be as happy as ours.

Congrats on making it to your Silver...an accomplishment in this day and age.

Cheers...

30. As long as the 25 years were loving ones then congratulations
I've known too many couples who stayed together out of inertia and just kind of calcified into rigidity and routine, acting out more out of habit then anything else.

34. Get back to us when you've lived ALL of your life together
:)

We're clocking 32 years on November 2.

It only feels like a lifetime.

We started out "undecided", went to fundamentalist hard-core right-wing rabid Republican then regained our sanity and are now atheist hard-left liberals. Thankfully we had no children so they didn't have to wonder what the hell their parents were up to.

Did he say that you aged him? That's what my husband says. I haven't even gone gray, and he went gray in his thirties (and lost his hair).

45. Yay! A Long-term best friend is the best thing in the world.
I understand you implicitly.

Me and mine aren't on 25 years of marriage yet, but we draw strength from each other every day. There is nothing like it. Congratulations as well on your migration to and continued residence on the Light side of the political Force.
