Humor - 63 year old reflects on marriage!

[RIHMFIRE]

Got this from my uncle

After being married for 40 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said .. .
"Forty years ago we had a cheap house, a junk car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 23-year-old girl.
Now . . . I have a $500,000.00 home, a $35,000.00 car, a nice big bed and a large screen TV, but I'm sleeping with a 63-year-old woman. It seems to me that you're not holding up your side of things."
My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 23-year-old girl and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap house, driving a junk car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.
Aren't older women great? They really know how to solve an old guy's problems.

How great! I'm 66+ and it feels like I've been married to my lovely lady forever. Great marriage, ups and downs, wouldn't have missed it for anything. These will be the good old days, I know her, she knows me. God has been sooo good to me. I can't think of where I'd be without my wonderful Carol. Thanks for the cute story.

That's a very good answer from a very smart woman.

I like the one where the woman enters the room to find her husband of 20 years staring out the window with tears running down his face.

She says "Dear, what's wrong?"

He says wistfully: "Do you remember when we were teenagers and your father found us together, and offered me the choice of marrying you or going to the law because you were so young?"

She chuckled at the memory and said "Yes dear, I do. But what's the matter?"

He hung his head and sobbed: "I'd be getting out of prison today..."

Very funny! But I'm betting my wife would probably not think so.

may 5th makes 22 years for me. I have dated a lot of women, and finally found one that had the values i was looking for and needed. She has been my rock and my guardian angel. We now have two kids fullgrown and now hope to be a "grandpa" one day.

I'd never have thought I would say so, let alone actually believe so, but I don't find the 25 year olds as attractive overall as the 50 year olds. Them young ones are pretty looking though, and if I were 25 again, I'm sure I'd be happy to live in my old ghetto apartment with one of 'em; trouble is, it takes twenty year of 'seasoning' to get 'em the way you want 'em...

I like the one about the hillbilly family where Dad sees an old lady get on an elevator, the door opens a minute later, and a young hottie steps out, so he says "Son. . . go get your Ma. . ."

She's put up with me coming on 38 years and I'm sure happy she still does! Yes, it feels like forever, but also like only yesterday at the same time. I can't conceive of us not being together now.

[RIHMFIRE]

20 years today!

Although this Summer will mark my 46th wedding anniversary, I know an older Italian gentleman, who'e been married to the same woman for 65 years !

When I asked him about his recipe for such a successful marriage, he told me that he took his wife on a beautiful trip & tour, back to Italy, for their homeymoon.

When I asked him how he was going to celebtate his 66th anniversary, he told me: "I tinka I gonna go back ana get her."

Back when my wife hit 40, I jokingly suggested trading her in on 2 20s. She just said that I was no longer wired to handle 220.

30 years for us.
She occasionally says to me " If something happens to me you'd replace me in a heartbeat, Wouldn't you "
I usually reply with " do you really think I'd be that dumb TWICE "

I've often thought of all the things that happened over our 40+ years together. One wife, three kids, good times, tough times, not-so good times. What I or my Carol could have done because I did, or she did, or whatever, . . . . I realized a few years back, before I got seriously ill, when I was traveling a lot for my work. . . . I'd come home and she was always waiting with open arms. . . . . I was living the BEST years of my life. These would be the good old days! Now I'm better, I can work some, I've taken-up lever shooting, reloading, I have a hobby. She still loves me and thinks I'm the greatest. (Boy, did I marriy in way over my head!) Always there when I return off the road and glad I made it home, a TRUE and REAL friend! I am truly blessed.

34 years and 6 kids for us. The bad times fade into the fog of memory and the good times are treasured. Someone recently asked me about my relationship with my wife and I said, She's not perfect, but neither am I,and when you put the two of us together, we are complete.

I look at it like two broken pieces of wood. When they are put together, a lot of the rough edges disappear. We still have our warts and flaws, but together we are better than if we were single.
