Hello Gang,<P>I love the reactions that I get from newlyweds and single people when I tell them that I've been married for 8 (EIGHT) years.<P>I get the following:<BR>"WOW, that is a long time."<BR>"I hope we can stay togeter that long."<BR>And from the peanut gallery I get the following:<BR>"How can you stay with one person for so long?"<BR>I'd love to see their reaction for those who are in the double digits of marriage.<P>My question is this. How long have you been married? Please take a second to share with memebers of the group how long you've been married.<P>Thanxx in advance for your responses.<P>------------------<BR>PSALMS 133<BR>AMOS 7:7-8<BR>ECCLESIASTES 12:1-7

We've been married for 30 years, and yes, we sometimes get those reactions from the younger set.
