    I don't know exactly, but they had been married for nearly 3 years when I was born. This year will be their 24th wedding anniversary.

    I think they had been together for about two years before they got married and I was conceived not long after the marriage. They broke up 3 years ago, so I think they were together for about 16 years in total.

    I'm not sure how long they were together before getting married but I was born 2 years after they married and my brother a year later. They've been married 28 years.

    Two years after their arranged marriage. They're still happy and passionate about each other.

    They'd been together for years but married for 3 so I chose that. They're still together now.

    I was born when mum was 25 and dad was 28. So it would have been 4 years.

    Met when they were [M]19/[D]20. I was born when they were [M]25/[D]26. So, 6 years [nearly 7].

    They had lived together for around 5 of those and had been married for around 3.

    They are still together now.

    I dont know. They had been married about 6 months, I know that much. Not sure how long they had been together prior to that. A few years, I know that much. |And no, they're not together now, my dad walked out when I was 6 years old.


    Hubby and I had been together 3 and a half years when our eldest child was conceived. And yes we're still together now - coming up to having been together for 11 years in a couple of weeks time (married for 7).

    My parents had been together 14 years when I was conceived on Christmas 1992 (they were a bit stuck for cash and didn't get each other much in the way of gifts), they've just celebrated their 32nd wedding anniversary.
