My parents divorced after 21 miserable years together. Thank God! They either needed to get a dovirce or one of them was going to kill the other one!

Mine are happily married, although sometimes its unhappily. Jonathan's parents have been on the edge of divorce for years now (or so his mom says), they stay together and are planning to stay together. I would say they are unhappily married because thats what his mom and dad would probably tell you.

My parents will celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary this September. I think Jonathan's parents have been married for over 40 years. As far as I know, everyone is happy.

My parents have been married happily for 29 years. Justin's parents are divorced. They were married for 15 years when they divorced. Justin was 11 then. Both of his parents remarried to another person and both got another divorce. His dad is now in a long term relationship and his mother lives with another man. They were going to get married at the JP and had gotten the marriage license and everything, but on the day the planned to get married she came down with the flu. They never rescheduled. She uses his last name for some things (but not on her driver's license or social security or bills) and calls him her husband. Justin calls him his step-dad. I guess they are technically common law. They have been together for about 8 or 9 years I guess.

My parents have been happily married for 46 years now. They had only one rough time that i knew about after my father had his heart attack. His personality changed so much. But mother hung in there and it only made it better.

My mom & dad were married for 8 years, until my dad died. She has been remarried for 11 years. I would say mostly happily. :D

Mine divoriced when I was 2, but they are very close, my mom takes him grocery shopping and buys him clothes sometimes at the mall, My dad has had some problems over the past year or 2 where he doesn't care anymore and has a hard time even leaving the house, but she goes right over and makes him get things done, he even spent Thanksgiving Dinner with us and my moms boyfried of 10 years who I might add is the nicest guy in the world, it is nice to see her be so caring for him when he needs it the most.

My parents got divorced when I was about 1. My dad was cheating on my mom with a college student named Heather, and that's why my name is not Heather!! lol...
As for DH's parents, they're still together. I don't think they're exactly happy, but they're used to being together and I can't imagine that they could imagine themselves not together. Plus, being Indian, it's not at all accepted to get divorced.

My parents have been happily married for 27 years.
DH's parents divorced when he was I think around 2 or 3. His parents were really young when they got married and had him.

Well, my 'natural' parents divorced when I was five.
My mother is now married to a wonderful man that, though I can't call him 'dad', he is more of a father than my real one. They have only been married for 6 years, but he is dad to me. He is the one walking me down the isle. Is it weird that I can't call him dad?

My parents have been married 30 years this year.
Marks parents have been seperated and divorced for 10 years now. His mother re-married last summer to the man she had been seeing for about 6 years. And his father is still with the woman he left mark's mother for. All stable relationships (for the most part).

My parents were married for 12 years before they divorced...I suspect most of those years were happy, except for the last few.
My father has since remarried and has been with my wonderful step-mother for 8 years.
My mother has been remarried and then divorced again and is now dating someone else.

My parents are still married (for like 34 yrs) they have their moments when they don't fight and at least pretend to be happy. I'm sure they love each other on some level but I tend to think they've stayed together for so long because they need each other ... dad needs mom to cook and clean and take care of him and mom needs dad to have someone to take care of and something to complain about, that and she couldn't support herself to live on her own.
