    Darn tootin'! That menopause thing was certainly interesting. 35 years together and still kickin'!

    I'm at 1.5 years and going strong!

    Props to the OP for taking some time to invest in your marriage. Really good to hear that it helped. Too many people expect a marriage to just be on auto pilot.

    There's a reason that menopause starts with the word "men"! We'll celebrate 32 years of matrimony this August! God gave me a precious gift which I don't cherish often enough...

    Is Colorado Springs the only location that they have?

    Edit: Looks like next one is in Estes Park. Not a bad price to save a whole marriage.

    What a wonderful thing to share! I'm very happy for you both, and very happy for everyone else that has posted their marriage "track record". 23 years here, just settling in to the honeymoon phase.

    If you take your wife can you leave her there when it's over?

    Wow, some of you guys are really old! Uhh…I mean really inspiring.

    I actually just hope to be alive long enough for us to hit 30 years. We're at 11, though.

    We're at 25+. I'm still trying to decide if she's worth keeping.



    Good for you guys for recognizing how to improve your relationship rather than just surviving in it.

    10 of the best years of my life. Not without its ups and downs though. Wife is starting into menopause and I'm not looking forward to my best friend losing her marbles for a few years. But like everything else we WILL weather the storm.
