    Best decision I ever made!!

    27 years ago today Gail and I got married. Best decision I ever made and she feels the same. Second marriages for both of us, her first lasted 25 years and mine was 32. We have actually been together for 31 years but we both wanted to move slowly this second time around.

    Congratulations! This is a second marriage for both Betsy and I. I think it helps to know what to expect, and adjust your expectations.

    Congratulations! Not many find their true soul mate and put in the effort to make it last. I hope you dance at your 50th!

    Congrats! We made it 30 years together before her true nature emerged and divorced. Been with the same woman going on five years now. Not considering getting married again (both divorced) but I can definitely see us together till the end. Glad you found the one.
