Married once in 1970, I was 19. He died 35 years later. July 25, 2020 would have been our 50th anniversary. Edit...he died June 25, 2004...so almost 34 yrs. 3 major events in his life happened on the 25th of a month. He was born May25, died June 25, and married the love of his life on July 25. And we didn’t plan for the 25th to marry...just the way it worked out.
Third was a charm I was married the first time and after 12 years my wife passed away with no children. Second time married 20 years no children and divorced. Third time still happy married with two children been married for 15 years. Only regret was not finding number three first.
Not sure if i'm looking or not, a lot of fine lines to consider. If paths lead us to the same crossroads, and make me feel of worth, i would consider. This next road if it may appear, would be amazing if i could say i'm in love with that person instead of just saying i love you.......My heart goes out to those of you, who have lost a spouse through death....and on a different note, my heart feels to those who have found the " Love of your Life "
TWICE...first time at age 33, second time at age 58. (But boy, what a time I had during those 3 years between marriages!) But I swear I'll never marry again! Instead, I'll find a woman I don't like and give her a House! Hal
This is a very true statement, @Holly Saunders . I had been married before and divorced and am so happy that my Bobby and I found each other........ I think that we both wish it could have happened sooner, but God always knows the best of when things like this should happen, and we are both thankful to have found each other. Yesterday was our 18th anniversary, so sometime this week we will probably go and have an anniversary lunch together.
@Yvonne Smith @Bobby Cole Celebrating with the love of your life.....Awesome, hope you had a good day.
I was six months older than my first wife that died at age 54 in 1989. I remarried a woman that was exactly 10 years younger than me in 1993. I was 59 and she was 49. There was complete compatibility with my first wife and it was a great marriage. My second wife had been married before and was divorced with three grown daughters living independently. We had a great marriage for 25 years with much travel and adventures before having a Amicable Divorce so we could be closer to our respective families. Hers in New Zealand and mine in California. I am now 85 with health problems and she is 75, living in New Zealand and enjoying good health despite being a Breast Cancer Survivor. We communicate via email.
I'm glad you two are still friends and stay in touch. One of my best romances while I was in my mid 30's was with a guy who was a little less than 10 years younger than I was. It really didn't seem to make any difference at all. I guess if someone got a span of 20+ years, it would require more adjusting from both sides due to music, entertainment and perhaps even health differences, but if they were in love, they could work it out.
