We knew each other for about 5 years, but were actually in a relationship for about a year before we got married.
12 years. It takes us both a long time to get around to anything.
About two ears dating in high school then we were married when we were 18, just before I went to Vietnam.
It has been 44 years and we are still in love dispite our scew ups and arguments. I can’t imagine being without her.
Im not married yet, but Im getting married in December. Me and my fiance just started dating March of 2009. My mom tells me Im dumb but I say can’t put a timing on love
I am not allowed to marry my significant other.
1st time – we knew each other about three weeks before we got married
2nd – Met in July, married in December
3rd – Met Memorial Day 1975, moved in together 4th of July, married Labor Day, 1975
We were together about 5 months when we got engaged, and got married 3 years later, and now we’ve been married going on 3 years. We have lived together for 6 years.
4 months. We are still together 9 years later.
My wife and I became monogamously involved in February, 1994.
We were married on December 15, 2001, so almost 8 years.
We were together for a couple or more months. I have not been married long.
This is a standing ovation for @Ron_C – both for hs service to the country, and to his 44 year marriage.
My wife and I dated for nine years before getting married.
We’ve been married for 14.
My husband and I met in January and were married in September of the same year. We’re coming up on our 12th wedding anniversary. :) We already knew we wanted to get married, but had a little accident surprise in the baby department so decided to speed things up a bit.
I live in the United States, and therefore it is not legal for me to marry my partner.
We were best friends for about 2 years before we started dating. Two weeks into dating and he proposed, we were married 8 years.
My parents had been dating for 3 months, and my mom got pregnant. They eloped, and have been married for 18 years.
@iamthemob There are several states that allow same sex marriage – Are you rejected for some other reason?
@YARNLADY Unfortunately, regardless of the several (or one tenth or so) states that allow same sex marriage, DOMA, which is still the federal law of the land, prevents any same sex union from enjoying the over 1300 federal rights of currently available for heterosexual couples. So no – the fact that I am a U.S. citizen is the only reason that I am rejected. Kind of lame, right?
@iamthemob
What marriage rights are available to same-sex married couples in the states that recognize same-sex marriages?
@tinyfaery
Thanks for the link.
I see that the DOMA was signed by Clinton in 1996.
Apparently some Democrats are not the lesser of two evils when it comes to marriage equality.
You are correct. Obama does not support gay marriage. As a side note, Clinton was able to pass welfare reform that was worse than any previously suggested Republican bill. Politics is not as polarized as the media would like us to believe.
12 years. We were waiting to become fully financially independent.
Almost 4 months and we’ve been happily together for 28 years.
