How is that possible in this day and age?

That is an really amazing achievement, congratulations to Andre's parents.

Lots of couples stay happily married for years. My parents have been married for 65 years, I have been married for 36, my sister for 35 and my brother for 40 years. All of us on first marriages and all still very happy.

My neighbour's husband has been in hospital for a month and is coming home on Monday - the day they celebrate their 64th anniversary.
The day he was taken in was the first night they'd ever spent apart.

Although, of course, he conveniently moved their anniversary to coincide with a Strictly show when the whole family had already celebrated the milestone back in September.

(I'm not posting a link but if you google Peter Andre parents there is a big picture from the celebration about 3rd hit down...)

Another case of him lying to suit his agenda?

Peter Andre said, in a recent interview, that his parents were "celebrating their sixtieth wedding anniversary". He did not say today, last week, next month. He explained that whilst the actual date was in September, the celebrations started with his wedding in July, when his parents flew in from Australia, for what is probably the last time they can fly long haul. They then stayed at Peter's home in Cyprus, and had parties with their many relatives all over the island, followed by a cruise around the Greek islands.

Obviously they considered sixty years of marriage to be a momentous occasion, and worthy of prolonged celebration.

My parents celebrate their 60th next year and they go out sequence dancing every week too.
I and my hubby have another two years to go to our 30th.

My sister celebrates 30 next June and the other (if she hadn't passed away suddenly last June) would have celebrated 34 next month. Me??? LOLOL My first lasted 2 yrs, the second 3 before I settled down and have been with my partner for 16 yrs now.

Its so nice to hear that all your familes have had long and fufilled marriages. Love it. My great grandparents got married at 17 and had spent a glorious 64 years together but illness took my great grandfather just before they could celebrate the 65.

I bet they must have been really impressed when Pete shacked up with Katie

I met my husband when I was 16, and he was 17. We got married 7 years later and celebrated our 42nd wedding anniversary in July.

I'm really sorry to hear that cate. At least you had quite a long time together in a happy marriage. My father died (a while ago now) just after 33 years of marriage to my mother. It would have been his birthday today.

Met my husband when I was 15 and he was 19. We were married in 1962, two weeks after my 19th birthday and have been married for over 53 years.

There are things we do together and there are things we do apart. We are still individuals with our own interests as well as the joint ones. Sometimes I wonder how we've lasted that long but you have to work it out when things get bumpy and enjoy the good bits, which is most of the time.

I have 4 sets of friends who have been married for 60+ years and 10 who have clocked up more than 50yrs. As we live longer, it's not that unusual

Congratulations Janet! Your marriage sounds exactly the way we "do" ours: I always look in astonishment at those couples who seemed joined at the hip and never do anything apart. We've been married for nearly 30 years and mainly very content. Here's to the next 30!

My parents had been married for 46 years when my mum died last year at the stupidly early age of just 66. I'm 45.
One of my friends' parents have just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, she's 42 so it does still happen quite a lot but there are obviously getting fewer as the decades roll on because people do divorce with more frequency now than they used to.
There will always be those who last and there's probably loads more who've been together as long but never married.
