9 years - we were both 29 when we started our relationship but have known each other a lot longer than that.

More than 50% of the weddings I have attended have ended in divorce, assume another 25% aren't particularly happy .... doesn't sound good does it ? Grin.

There will be official statistics somewhere to show the % breakdown in marriages, I believe it's higher for second/third marriages.

Met when I was 16 and he was 19. Together 14 years and married 5, one ds. Some difficulties in the first 5 years or so, put down to general growing up as people, but we are very happy and both see us being together for the rest of our lives.

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 22/11/2020 16:30

Together since 1999, married since 2003. Not always happy but more often than not doing ok. Surprisingly, lock down has been kind to us and reminded us of each other again.
