Congrats! And keeping out of each others hobbies is a smart idea.
I made it 24 years the first marriage, but the last 4 were in divorce court over custody of our only who was 4 when it began. I ended up with my daughter and the house . My second is great and has been for 15 years now! And my daughter is doing great - can't say that for my Ex

Ya we did fine until I got hurt and was home all the time. Went down hill fast after that.
What ever happened to through SICKNESS and health I'll never know.
Oh well I got the Kids and dog. She got the house and land.
Was a good trade I think.

Congratulations Allan! It's getting rarer and rarer these days to see couples make it past 20 years.

Kathy and I just doubled that in May. But we support each others different interests. Heck, it was her idea for me to get this truck, and that has certainly kept me out of trouble for a couple of years now!

Yes, a good trade. Mine didn't really want our kid, she just wanted child support and the house. Had a great female judge who saw through her, she got neither. I would have been happy with just having my daughter but got lucky.

Congrats! Only 18 years for me. Me and my ol' lady share some hobbies and each have our seperate hobbies. It works out pretty well overall. All in all, life with Ol' Snakebite is pretty good! I think I'll keep her.

I think it's so cute when couples have pet names for each other . What the heck does your loving wife call you Bobby .

Congrats., Allen. It will be 55 years for Joyce and I on the 20th of September. Lots of water under the bridge, but if I had it to do over, I don't think I would change a thing. Wishing you and your wife many more years of happiness in the future.
