Been together for 19 years, with many, many, many wonderful times. But even during the occasional lows I just keep in mind the old, but wise, saying "a wife is for life, not just for Christmas"

Happy late 15 years SW! My wife and I have been together 19 years and married for 11 of those. We were drinking heavily for most of the 19 years. so glad we made it through the destruction and land mines that the bottle brings with it.

SW after I read others replies of their long relationships made me envy them & you . My parents made it 50 + years , both alcoholic's & sobered up in later years together . For me I wasn't so lucky 7 years ( was) my longest .
Anyways now I see a sort of pattern . I did ask my parents once , how do you make it last ? Quote: Take the Good with the Bad they said ..
Now I've been in a relationship going on 5 years . We meet as alcoholic's we go through the Good & the Bad . But all in all we have been there for each other . I "think" I found the key ?

19 Wonderful Years!! I have learned we, from day one, chose to never ever ever give up on each other or leave the other behind. Not saying we haven't had our troubles, believe me we have, and times got real shaky. Working it out is the ONLY option and never letting go. He's stuck with me til he dies or I do. It's the oath we took "Til Death Do Us Part"! We never go to bed mad and "I love you" is said very very often!

Aww, that's sweet SoberWolf.

My sweetie and I met 15 years ago and have been married for 14 of those years.

In 2 weeks we will have been married for 25 years. We ❤️ each other very much. A couple of alkies through and through. Currently I'm sober and he isn't. Testing times for sure, but we are still together. No-one makes me laugh like he does.

Congratulation to you and Mrs SW. My wife and I celebrated 12 years this past July. We got married older in life, neither of us had been married before and no children. She has been the best thing in the world for me. Together we have been through hell and high water, but we've done it together and made each other stronger. It scares me to death to think of what my life would be without her.

Been sober 37 years, met the wife 34 years ago, married 31. I think, the math gets fuzzy as the years go by.

Congratulations to you & your missus, sw.

Me & him have been together almost 34 years. Through all that, and still surprising one another.

I met my husband 13 years ago and we've been married for 12. He was so awesome in forgiving me for how I got with my drinking the last several years. Unconditional love, forgiveness, and valuing deeper connection over superficial stuff .. that has helped us. And shared interests/hobbies.

Congratulations soberwolf!

I'm not in a relationship anymore. My last relationship was not a good one but it did give me the love of my life, my 7 year old son.

In 2 weeks, it'll be 21 years married, 23 together. We've had some serious stuff happen, almost didn't make it, but we pulled it together and worked on it. I'm so happy we did, the love has always been there; the communication not so much. We learn and grow.
