This thread is pretty awesome. I love reading about most of the long marriages that you have had. I'm newly married. I was married to my late wife for 19 years who passed away at the age of 53 about 4 1/2 years ago. I was 47 at the time. I've been married now for the last 2 years and am looking forward to a long marriage with my new wife and these stories give me hope. My wife is a huge paper crafter and i have no problem with her hobbies and she is supportive of my hobbies which include all kind of trains, adult collector of Legos, computers, and a lot more.
I will buy my wife stuff that I know she will like and if she sees stuff I might like, she asks me if she should get it.
