Gets better all the time.
First 10 years were rough at times though.

The first best thing in my life is being Saved by Jesus. The second best is my wife. I will second this!

45 years for me so far. health issues lately, but i made a promise to remind her daily how much she meant to me.
married her at age 27, she was 37 with three kids. At the time the bet was it wouldn't last one year.
best thing i ever did. I try to tell her that daily.

38 years and yes....with the following caveats:
1. The BEST ONE you will ever meet and probably marry is still a PITA (and an Alien)
2. If they didn't have a hole, there would be a bounty on them
This discussion of course excludes our Mothers...
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

I out kicked my coverage with my choice of a wife and have been very blessed and happy since. She's much better than I deserve but she stays with me regardless. A wonderful mother, partner and lover. She's perfect. This The greatest honor of my life is being the husband of my bride. She’s a money honey, her biz is fantastic, but that’s way down the list of what makes her wonderful I happen to be married to one of the finest people I’ve ever met Gave her every reason to leave many times, but she stayed. Thought kids were my saving grace and they prolly helped But it’s not why she stayed. Turns out she loves me deeply. 🤷🏻♂️ It amazes everyone, but no one moreso than myself.
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

I've been married for over 49 years. It has not been all smooth sailing, as there have been bumps in the road along the way..........but, I am convinced it was meant to be, and that the Lord put us two together. She is my anchor, and I'd be lost without her. So, yes, I am happily married. Very much so. I believe she would say the same thing.

Yes sir, just over 20 years now. I stumble a bit periodically but continue to move in the right direction. Someday I'll be worthy of her. She claims that I am but I simply don't think it's possible just yet.

You can't pick your family. But you CAN pick your spouse...  As mentioned in another thread...in some states you can pick your spouse from your family!!! The first best thing in my life is being Saved by Jesus. The second best is my wife. This. Getting past first base is one of the great things about marriage!

Of all my friends, I'd say I'm by far the happiest married guy in the bunch.
KYHillChick and I have been married since 1997. We're not newlyweds, but she's still the best girlfriend I ever had.

I'd say I have a great marriage but in the last month our teenage daughter who is off at school has been having problems and those problems are causing issues in our relationship - because two parents vehemently disagree on what the best course of action is.
22 years of just getting along great and in the the course of a month its rocky ground. I'm sure we'll return back but not until we fix this problem and it could last 2 or 3 years.

As I’ve stated before, one of us would have been out on parole by now.

Closing in on 30 years with my beautiful loving wife. I definitely married up. She's lost 100 lbs. in the last year and has that head turning "Yeah Baby" look again. Life's been very good to me.

"The Warden" has let me live under the same roof for (very soon to be) 44 years - and hasn't put a 38 slug into my head, yet.  My old aunts proclaimed, at the wedding, that it would never last. Sometimes, I think they were right! Been together for 46.
I've always been a curmudgeon - now I'm an old curmudgeon.
