Sharon & my 10-year anniversary today.
For lack of babysitter resources and time for planning, we are not actually going to be able to do anything tonight other than spend some brief moments together after the kids are in bed. But I think that is really representative of the stage of our family right now (e.g. preschooler & infant In The House), as well as the general course of our married life together, to this date: our time together may be hard to come by, but it is precious, and never taken for granted.
We're hoping to get out this weekend to see a play and eat a good meal. The Coast 2 Coast hike in northern England will have to wait a few years.

Congrats Dan! I am happy for the both of you. May your house and family be blessed for 10 x 10 years.
Thanks, friend. We've got a good start at least.
Also, congrats. Wow.
Many trials.
Many tribulations.
More joy (one hopes).
Lots of joy, laughter, and adventure, thus far. Hopefully a little less financial stress, going forward.
Amen.
Sorry for the late comment, but again, Congrats to the both of you. You've already beaten the average!!!!
Thanks to you.
Kind of sounds like a Netflix "friend" comment:
"You and Sharon have been married for 10 years. You are certainly both far from average!!!"
Happen to know the average, by any chance?
yes - big congrats
ACtually, I'm working from faulty conventional wisdom, and am looking into better data. In the meantime, Wikipedia offers this:

The bottom line for you: 10 years = excellent. Keep it up. Cheri and I = 14 years.
Great job yourself!
My favorite piece of information at that link: "Henry VIII of England is known for founding the Anglican Church partly in order to obtain a divorce."
