Are you black by chance? I have a black friend that says black men will date you forever bc they don't want to get married.

Don't know about that. I'm white.

You moved in with each other after only spending 3 or 4 weekends together??

Never lived together.

I was 21 when we married and he was 25.

Happily married 56 years until his death nine years ago. I still miss him every day.

You were very fortunate in life; I am sure he is looking down on you from heaven and missing you too

How long did you live together before you got married?

How old were you when you got married?

3 months.

16 years. (we're both women, and it wasn't legal before)

39.

Dated: 3.5 years
Then lived together: 1/2 a year
Ages: DH - 29, DW - 25.
Also of some importance - First child was 3 years after we got married.

I think taking it pretty slow like that has been pretty instrumental to building a solid foundation for our marriage. We had 7.5 - 8 years of growing together before we added the stress of a kid.
