My inlaws reached 50 last year. At 30 years we have the longest (by far) marriage of any of our generation in both our families.

We had our 50th WA this year (I was of course a child bride ). My sister has been married for 58 years and our parents made 70 years! So I don't think it's that unusual especially as a lot of us 1960s kids married young.

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.
That was mentioned the other day during a discussion on how wedding cakes have changed.

They used to be very rich fruit cake in three tiers and the top tier was kept for the christening of the first child. Nowadays wedding cakes are all sorts of cakes, including cup cakes, and it was said that if they were still rich fruit cake and kept, the divorce might well happen before the first child.
