tomorrow is my dad and mom's 35th wedding anniversary....

Congratulations to your parents dear! I am happy to hear people living a good marriage. Imagine 35 years! That is a lot to thank God about. I know how it feels for my dear. The children are the direct beneficiary of a happy marriage. I know how happy and secure children become when their parents could provide them a happy home. I'm so happy for the blissful life your family is obviously enjoying. Keep up! I am in a very happy marriage as well. I've been married for 23 years now with my first boyfriend. He is a wonderful godly man and I am so proud of him. I'm blessed enough to have him in my life. The man of my dream who provided me with a very comfortable life. Our marriage is almost close to perfection and I should say I am almost always in a bed of roses as far as my married life is concerned. Of course there were thorns that come through once in a while. But Good is good. He is always with me to tackle the thorns and gain victory over them.

That is wonderful that your mom and dad are celebrating their 35th. Are they doing anything special? My husband and I have been married 21 yrs and I remember when my first child went to kindergarden and came home from school asking me when we were going to get a divorce so he could go and do fun things at his dads house. Come to find out we were one of the few parents still married!

Congrat to your folks!! My parents have been married 53 years and still going strong. Of course they got married when they were very young as they did back then. I am praying for yours and mine to have many, many more happy years together!

For some personal reasons, tears rolled down from my cheeks when I read this discussion. you see, my parents just had their 41st wedding anniversary last October. It was not the same as before since my mother is already in an advanced stage of Alzheimer. When my mother was still on the peak of her memory, she always take care of all of us, especially my father, who is a diabetic since 1983. Everyday, she always make it a point to massage my father from head to toe. She's always been so submissive. She supported my father all the way. My heart goes with them when learned that over the last 2 years it is my father who takes care of her, bathing her, combing her hair, really keeping an eye of her. He is the only one my mother recognizes!!! Anyway, belated happy wedding anniversary to your parents....

Congratulations to your parents on their 35th anniversary. You are right; many people don't make it too long before divorce or separation. Most don't see the purpose in trying to find help to save their marriage. And there aren't many that far. We will be celebrating our 45th anniversary in July. If our health holds out and the Lord is willing, we will still be together, celebrating our 50th anniversary in 5 1/2 years.

It is nice to hear that there are people who still work hard at their marriage. Congratulations to you mum and dad, great milestone. My in-laws were married nearly 50 years but my mother in-law passed away in November 08. My parents are going for 49 years this May.

congrats that's awesome, my parents made it to 15 then called it quits. my hubby n i are on our 5th this year. i do hope n pray we'll be together forever, i know no one expects to get divorced, but we have been together for 13 yrs, n i love him more n more each day!

last year my inlaws celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary and my hubby and i celebrated our 21st. you are right when you say that now adays, reaching such milestones are rather uncommon. what a sad commentary on today's society.

congrats to them, my parents celebrated their 56th anniversary this past october. and even though they have been through a lot, and raised me and my sister with good values.....can't say the same for she and i, lol. i have been through three divorces and she is on her third marriage, hopefully, for her this one lasts.

happy anniversary to your mom and dad. yea, in this generation where marriage will not long, I can feel your happiness that your parents reached this years being together. Yes, marriage is not all happiness. It is a combination of everything. If somebody said today that they never experience hardship and ups and downs in their marriage, that somebody is lying. hahaha...

Well, Congratulations to them! I am sure you are very pride. My parents were divorced when I was very young so it is nice to hear that someone has parents that have madeit through. It is so nice to hear!

I'm glad you still remember their anniversary.Next month will be our 34th anniversary too.I hope my children will remember it too so we'll have just a little celebration.I also believe in endless love and one man woman too.Hope we will reach our 50th anniversary so I can experience a church wedding which I'm longing for so long.We had a civil wedding.

Congratulations!it is so nice to hear that there are a lot of couple whose marriage last for a lifetime. My parents also will be celebrating their 33 years of marriage this year. In our family we have no history of separation, actually here in the Philippines we have no divorce law that's why separation cases are so rare. I admire couple whose union last for a lifetime.

it is said thst god makes pair in heaven and then leave to earth,but it now it has to be changed by saying that god makes enemy in heaven and leave to earth.but it cannot be completely supported because still their arwe people who has serious feeling for marriage .it is a life long attachment,but now love and marriage is a fashion or trend to keep there position in society.people go behind fame only.

[i]Hi ken, I am also extending my greetings for your Parents...And wish the same! I am also proud for my Dad and Mom who have been together for all these years! and survive with all the trials in their marriages! I would say, they are my idol when it comes to this matter! LOL! let's continue to wish and pray for their good health and long life and for all the parents in the world![/i]

i'm really glad for you. my mum and dad's been married for close to 24 years. I really wish they can both be healthy when their 35th anniversary, even their 50th anniversary comes along. But my mum's not in good health and I'm really worried for her. :( i can only hope...

So pleased to hear about your folks, congratulations to them! It is good to know that some people still view marriage as a sacred commitment, which is for life. My husband and I are approaching our ten year anniversary, so I feel I must do something special to mark the occasion. :)

marriage is not easy and for me it is one of the hardest things i have ever had to persevere with. 35 years with the same person is a long time. if it is a good marriage then i am sure it is great. my marriage is difficult and plagued with problems so that seems like an eternity to me. we try to stick it out for our young son because it is about him not just us.

Well, extend my warm greetings to your mom and dad. Congratulations too for them because they lasted that long. What you said is true. Countless marriages do not last long these days and I'm so glad to have couples like your mom and dad who had maintained their vows. I pray that they will have more anniversaries to come and good health to both of them.

Congrats to your parents' marriage :) My parents have been married for 23 years and at one point they nearly decided to have a divorce and were considering which of their children will go with who. But in the end they didn't and made the big move of immigrating the whole family. Well, i wish your parents luck and more love to come.
