Yes, we were high school steadies, married in 1970 and finally she departed me and the 3 kids with a massive stroke in 2009. She took a piece of my heart with her and I still miss her. I ran across a lonely widow online who had lost her husband in 2009 and we are happily married since 2013, enjoying whatever life hands us and we are RVing every chance we get.
Yes I did, with just one girl. And we have now been married for 47+ years!
We went steady, got engaged, and married before graduation. We will celebrate 50 years December 24, 2021.
Started going steady as a junior and senior in high school. Engaged by graduation. Married in 1974 and started birthing babies in 1975. Put each other through college. Camped all of our lives. Started full timing in 2007. I often think the greatest love in the world is found among every day couples like us.
yes, coming up on 52 years this October.
Yes – After two years, we went our separate ways. Both married to spouses over 50 years. Still friends.
Yep, we’re still dating. It’ll be 46 years this December.
Not only did we “go steady” in HS, we’ve been together ever since. Met in Sophmore year Chemistry class in 1962 and married in ’69. Still going strong today, 59 years together!
A mistake that lasted a few years, marriage and one child (only good thing). She has since been married 5 times, and now lives with an old boyfriend. Me been married for very soon 50 years. Only reason I know about her is daughter talking to mom.
Went steady for four years (with a few separations) then married in 1963 and had four children. Camped with them thru 70s and 80s. Have returned to camping with the dog in 2017. Every trip is special as we don’t know how much longer we can camp!
Had more important things to do. Baseball, work and snorkeling in beautiful Key West.
We were steady for two years. In my senior year, she moved to Tennessee, we moved to PA. Our long distance relationship didn’t last long. We lost track of each other.
Nope. Too many girls so little time. Going steady seemed like marriage to me and marriage meant adult responsibilities of the scare kind. So a date and move on. Last class reunion those that were steady then married and are now divorced. Glad I missed the traps and ventured solo for some years after high school. Doesn’t mean I avoided divorce one time I did but not marry a gal from high school or a local town. Yet I see some on here that marry their high school sweethearts and still married. I think that is awesome in its own right.
We got married one month after her graduation. 37 years later, we are still in love.
Unfortunately, I went on and married her.
YES March 1 1956. Married August 8 1958. 63 years this August. NOT UNFORTUNATELY.
Nope, too damned shy in high school! Looking back wished I had. Met my wife in college going on 52 years, love of my life!
Married my high school steady in 1966, 4 years (4 years of college) after high school. Happily married for 23 years until she passed away from breast cancer.
She was the love of my life.
still miss her.
Sorry for your loss Gary. Such a devastating disease. We plan our lives together – and then the unthinkable. (We lost our daughter of 44 to breast cancer and our son to CO2.)
many times but mostly short-term.
Graduated from High School in 1969, married my sweetheart in 1973. Just celebrated 48 years of happiness together!
In four more days we will have been going steady, since high school, for 61 years.
Dated my boyfriend junior and senior years of high school and 1st year of college, then broke up – my fault. I still have fond memories of that guy from more than 50 years ago, but I’m happily married for 46 years to the guy who followed him.
Went steady, got engaged, got married, had kids (3)😁, then…..got divorced.😣
Married #2 after 6 months……35 years ago.👍😁
Reading some of the success stories below make me really miss the up and down arrows….. well, the up arrows anyway. Congrats to all!
Had a “steady” for almost a year until she asked her priest about marrying a Lutheran [1964]. BIG no-no for Catholics at the time. Met a friend of hers while roller skating. Dated 3 years, then married 52+ years. Died due to dementia that turned into Alzhermer’s 11-29-19. Now together with my late wife’s BFF since 7th grade. Met her on a double-date with my future wife and best friends ever since.
Yes…Married 53 years next month to the love of my life. Then and Now.
Yes, but we eventually went other ways. Now, onto 55 years with another gal.
Yes, and been married for 45 years
My wife and I were a steady couple through high school then went away to college, drifted apart and married the wrong people. At our 40th HS reunion, we reconnected, got married and have shared the last 18 years happily.
Congratulations! What a great story…
Yes – it was one of those things that the teachers say never work out. Been together 66 total years including 63 married. Together through two tours in Viet Nam (USMC) and a total of six years partially separated (same reason). Two, two and three grand, great and great-great grand kids. Life is great
Catfish and Doady WILLIAMS.
Been together since 8th grade, married for almost 52 years.
