How did you meet your wife/husband/partner and are to in your 20's, 30's, etc.?

Question

I would also like to find out how long you have been together.

Answer 1

I'm probably the oldest person, at 65, answering your question. I met my first husband at an ice cream parlor where I was working when I was 15. He was 21 at the time. I married him at 17, which was a big mistake. I met my second husband when I was working as a waitress in a restaurant. He was there for about two hours waiting for a friend to pick him up, and we talked. I'm rather short so I couldn't reach the curtains to close them without getting up on a chair so he (tall man) closed them for me. Then, his friend forgot to pick him up so I gave him a ride. It was love at first sight. (I was 21, divorced, and had three little children, ages 1, 2, and 3). He was 34. We were married five months later, and he was a wonderful husband and father. We had one child a year later, but he treated all four children equally. They loved him so much, as did I. We had been happily married for 42 years when he died in a semi-truck accident in SC on May 10, 2005.

Answer 2

I met my husband through a local dateline. We knew we were meant to be in about a month or so after meeting and we have been together ever since. Beein together for almost nine years and married for going on 8. We are happily married and stronger then ever and very much in love! It only gets better with time and I love it. We are in our 30's

Answer 5

She was best friend's sister, met her just before she was 19 (I had just turned 18), the day after she had her wisdom teeth out, and I made her laugh. For me, it was literally love at first sight. We were married when she was 20, I was 19, and have been married now for over 24 years. A lot of people said it wouldn't last, but we will see....so far so good....

Answer 6

I was 19 at the time, dating someone who was not so nice to me- I found out that he had joined match.com WHILE WE WERE STILL TOGETHER!! So just to spite him, I threw a haphazard profile up on some other FREE personals site (didn't even include a pic)- never expecting to get anything from anyone- well I did- I got ONE response and I was shocked... We had so much in common, blah, blah, blah-- Anyway, we were married 12/23/06- and we've been together for 4.5 years

Answer 7

I met my fiance through mutual friends. After that he offered to take me home that night and started coming around more often, meeting me for lunch, and showing me that he was interested. After a long chase, we gave into one another, have been together now for 4 years and 2 months. I am 27 and he is 24. He is my everything and I couldn't imagine what life would be without him.

Answer 8

Husband and I met online 11 years ago. We were in our early 30s when we met and he moved from Seattle to Texas so we could be together.

Answer 9

I met him of all places burger king I worked there when I was a teen and I married him at the ripe age of 19 now I'm 36 and we are still together.

Answer 10

I was barely 15 and he was 19. I went to a high-school basketball game and sat next to a friend who was with her bf. Her bf's friend (my husband) started up the bleachers to sit by him. The couple left to go to the snack bar which left us sitting there. He asked how old I was, and I said 15. He laughed and said I looked 12. I felt very insulted and sulked. He endlessly started trying to cheer me up and we ended up having a lot of fun. A week later, he called me at home to go on a double date with our friends. We ended up getting married and have been with each other for 13 years now and have 2 children ages 10 and 8. He likes to say that he raised me, which is kind of true, he taught me how to drive, seen me graduate, helped me move out of my parents house and protected me when I was scared of the dark. Funny...
