My parents have been married for 50 years!

Which I find amazing. I don't know how people stay married for the long haul.

We had a lovely get together for them, which they both enjoyed very much.

Several years ago now (like more than 10) I asked my mom how she and my dad managed to stay together so long. Her response? "Inertia."

Yeah, my mom's funny.

That is amazing! My boyfriend's parents will be married 54 years this year... you can feel the love and admiration they have for each other - amidst their playful bickering...they are funny to be around...
 
That's a long time for two people to be together! Congratulate them for me! I can't imagine 10 years, much less 50! My 8th anniversary was this last May and 10 still seems a long way away!

How wonderful!

Anne, that kind of commitment is so beautiful and quite rare these days. Please offer my congratulations to your dear parents!
 
Thanks, everybody, I'll be sure to tell them. They're amazingly devoted to each other at this point in their lives.
