"Dinner on your anniversary"?! - you lucky bugger, I usually get a smack upside the head and a long story about how I've caused her so much gried during our long marriage.
- Just kidding, heading into our 7th year personally, not a very long time I know and not all of those years easy either (when do the easy years come).
To hear that people have been married for 15, 20, 25, 30 years, etc.
it does give you encouragement that it is possible to stay married for many years if you're willing to make it happen.
My congrats to you & your wife on your 25th anniversary, and best wishes to both of you on your next 25 years!!!
