Since he is gone, I will chime in for him. Zannon is on 9 as well (I think). It's either 9 or 10. I forget...they got married when I was a freshman in high school...which was...96? Yeah. 9 years.

I have been engaged for more than 9 days...does that count?

I stayed with mine for the 9 months, and then bailed...

Well this is my first year but I am going to die before I get devorced. It is againt both me and my wife's morals to get devorced. If you could not keep the the commitment in the first place then you should have never been merried. You have to be sure that you are not just in "Love" with someone. You need to know all aspects are covered that you can then make sure that you know each other's differences and needs.

Plus I get shuned from my family if I do because no one and I mean NO ONE has been devorced in my family for over 80 years. So I have a rep to keep.

Im right there with Lok'i

As far as advice... dont part, or go to bed angry...
My marriage is still pretty young.

other advice: consult your wife before buying anything that costs more than $20-$50 and isn't essential for your survival...

That is BY FAR the most important rule of a happy marriage!
