OK, we've got y'all beat.

Christmas 1957 I gave her an engagement ring.
She was 16 and I had just turned 20.
(picture number 1)
In the picture you can't really see the ring.

Then we were married on February 28, 1958
(picture number 2)
so it's almost 50 years.
She is now 66 and I just turned 70.

We now have 5 children, ages 41-48
and 13 grandchildren, ages 2-21.

You are divorced in all but legal decree, right?

Pretty much. He's been gone for almost 4 yrs and there is nothing to fight over property-wise or anything.

All we have to do is sign papers and it's done. We are waiting for the other to get them drawn up!

Just because a person commits adultery doesn't mean the spouse is now free to hit the single's circuit.

They are still married and should do whatever it takes to keep the marriage together...remember Hosea?

Blessings, Rhoni

P.S. I reported a man on the Apostolic Singles Network who was making all kinds of moves on all kinds of females who were single. He was married and until the divorce is final...still married and any fooling around with others still constitutes as adultery. Separated is NOT divorced.

I'm not sure if you are referring to me or the person you are speaking about in the first paragraph, but if it's me, you should know what you are talking about in regard to my situation before making such a comment.

If you aren't talking about me, well, good.

I didn't know anyone else said differently.

Talking about length of courting etc..

My grandparents met at a church service in Houston on I think it was August the 8th, she drove back home to Tulsa the next day. The next weekend on August 14th I believe he proposed to her. Their next date was again in Houston on August the 29th and that was to their wedding. My grandfather passed away in September and my grandmother in November of last year... just months after celebrating their 50th anniversary.
