UPDATE: Congratulations to Jennifer H. (82), Alicia’s Homemaking (100), Emily E. (105), Lisa (191) and Kate N. (204)! You have been randomly selected as the giveaway winners.
I remember when my parents were our age.
Forty-one. Thirty-nine.
I thought they were so old.
What did I know?
When my husband smiles, his eyes crinkle. I see his father.
I have my mother’s hands.
Both our parents inching towards their golden anniversary. Fifty years.
It’s a mantle we wear proudly.
He still closes the door behind me in the closet and kisses my neck.
But his socks are still on the floor.
I love that guy anyway.
He sips coffee, tea for me. We write love notes. We grow old together.
For the Mr & Mrs in your life, DaySpring is giving away FIVE sets of the following to FIVE of my readers today:
Leave an answer to this question as your entry: How long have you been a Mr & Mrs?

some thick, some thin years…
8 years for us!
Proud to be a Mr. and Mrs. for 11 and 1/2 years already. Some great times, some tough times, but we always know that we are committed to each other for the rest of our lives. I remember the priest who married us saying “Marriage is a decision you make each and every day for the rest of your lives.”
We will celebrate 9 blessed years in June. I love saying that our wedding day is not the most important day of our lives, but rather that today is the most important. I love being a wife and serving my man.
April 18 will make fourteen years.
13.5 years!
We’ve been married 5 years. So great to have someone to share life with.
We’re not an official Mr. & Mrs. We’ve been together for 5 years (six years in July), and he proposed to me this year. We’re getting married on May 1, 2013.
So officially…not at all. However, I knew when I met him that he was it. 
I’m glad that he finally agreed. 
Just celebrated our 10th anniversary!!! I haven’t stopped thinking about those mugs since I first saw them. Fingers crossed that it’s my lucky day!!!
I married the love of my life 14 years ago. I am very lucky!
5 and a half years! Time seems to fly by so I try to treasure the moments.
10 years last week!
We will be celebrating 16 years on February 17.
We’ve been married 22 years! And I still think he’s cute.
8 years 6 months and 4 days
6 years 1 month 1 day and 10 hours… approximately
3 years 10 months and 1 day! Proud to be his Mrs.
It will be ten years in May! Sometimes I wish we could have met and married earlier in life, but then I remember that the Lord’s timing is perfect. Oh how grateful I am that the Lord brought us together!
We have been married for nine years, and going strong!

We will celebrate 12 years in April, but my husband will tell you it feels like 15 minutes…
under water.
I sure do love that man of mine!
My hubby and I have been married for just a few days shy of a year and a half! We very proudly were married on 8-9-10 and finished our vows and kissed at 11:12 am. Its our little joke and its so fun to tell people about it. My husband proudly boosts he will never forget an anniversary! Check in with me in 2060 and I’ll tell you his record.
7 happy years!

We celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary on December 17th. And, I took a page from your husband. I bought a keepsake box from “Letters From Dad” and wrote my wife a love letter.

30 wonderful years!!!
30 years on February 20th – just a couple of weeks! We met at 15 and married at 18. We were so young, and knew so little, but we grew together (I won’t pretend there weren’t some TOUGH times) – we stuck together and now we seem to be more in love every day. Our two sons make faces because we hold hands or they catch us kissing in the kitchen, but I know that they (ages 17 and 25) have our solid marriage as an example for when they themselves marry (which will be next year for the 25-year-old). I am truly blessed.
It’s going to be 11 years on Valentine’s DAY! Oh, yes…married on a Holiday so HE could remember hehe.
We have been married for nine years! Can not believe how fast time flies.
We have been married for nearly 30 years. Each year our love grows deeper and sweeter. We have now entered the season of “grand-parenting” after raising five children. So much fun!
10 years. God has been so gracious to me and my husband. We’re often humbled when we hear the “statistics” of families in America. God is so good to us. I <3 my man.
2 years, 7 months & 15 days! Relative newlyweds, it looks like
14 years. He is so good to me, Kristen. So good.
I really hope I win, even though I know the chances are slim. There’s still a chance! I almost ordered this for Christmas, then didn’t. Here’s to hoping!
9 years this year. It’s hard to believe, I can remember just starting dating like it was yesterday.
18 years in September. I truly do love him even more today then I did that day.
We were married a year on January 1! The best year ever:)
15 years this March.
10 and 1/2 glorious years! And our love shows alot when people hear that we have 9 children (so far!)!
) Yes, all ours together, although 3 are in heaven. It is bliss!
5.5 years!! I cant wait to grow old together
I would LOVE LOVE to win this!!
We will celebrate our 6th anniversary in March!

Five Years this June!

Our anniversary is in sweet November!
It was 8 years on January 3, since the ripe ol’ age of 19! Now, multiple moves, two degrees, and two kids later, we’re learning…
There have been struggles, but there have been wonderful times, too.
This August will be 5 years! So looking forward to all that lies ahead!!
12 years in June, but we dated for 4.5 years before we were married!
We have been Mr. and Mrs. for 40 years and 5 months. I has been interesting, to say the least. I wouldn’t change a thing.
I saw this set at Hobby Lobby last week and loved it! So cute. We have been Mr & Mrs for almost 2 years now! (4/24/10)
It will be 12 years this June!!
14 years Feb 20
We have been Mr. and Mrs. for just over 19 years. We just helped my parents celebrate 40 and it doesn’t seem like such an unbelieveable number as it did when I was a teen!
3 years!
We have eight years, 1 month, 11 days together as husband and wife and I wouldn’t trade one of them away. Every day has been a blessing!
We became a Mr. and Mrs. 18 years ago, on the coldest day of the year!
Married 13 1/2 years to my best friend. We were so young! (21 and 22). Wouldn’t change a thing! : ) My parents just celebrated their 50th this past year.
We’ve been married 10 years and now working on year 11. I’m 28 and my hubby is 35 and when you said that first bit about being the age your parents were….I totally relate…lol. My hubby is the same age my dad was when I first figured out what age meant…and I thought my dad was old but now that I’m getting close to 30, I don’t feel that way any more. What’s strange is that our parents are all getting close to 60′s and 70′s. Now that feels strange. Anyway, thanks for the chance to win…I read your blog all the time, I just don’t comment much. =)
4 1/2 years!
Happy ones.
We have been married 6 1/2 years . I can’t believe it will be 7 in July!
I’ve been married 2.5 years to my best friend. =)
Almost 10! I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat!!
I’ve been married to my prince for 13 years this June. We began dating at 15. Waited until we were 21 to get married. It was a loooooooong wait!
I still wake up every morning and thank God my beloved is in bed beside me!
8 years in June!

We’ve been married for 10 years- praise the Lord! Dating since 1995 though
I’ve known him for half of my life. Weird! I love this giveaway, it’s all so fancy!
On the 14th, my husband and I will celebrate 8 years! We’ve been married since we were 19 and have a beautiful babygirl who is 7! We have had the most beautiful hills and valleys in our marriage so far and we have LEARNED for better or for WORSE. I love him very mvery much. It strange to think how quickly the last 8 years have gone by and how we are almost 30. All I can think of is how beautiful life is. Just magnificent and breathtaking.
35 years and I STILL love that man kissing my neck!!!!!
I’ve been a Mrs. for 13 years!

We will have been married 13 years on Feb 13th. Both of our parents have been married for 44&45 years.They set a great example of commitment — for better or worse, richer and poorer, in sickness and health. We have experienced it through them and now know we will be okay as we experience it all for ourselves.

Just reached 5 years in December.

July make 10 years married for us. For better or worse, richer or poorer (mostly poorer), in sickness and in health (3 years of sickness for me, a few colds for him), till death do us part.
31 years 9 months I have been married to the boy I fell in love with when I was 12 years old. God is good!!
In April, we will have been married for 6 years. Might not seem that long to some, but if you knew what God had done in our marriage in that short of time, you’d be amazed!!
5 years!
3 years and a few months. I loved the Mr & Mrs journal you showed us a few weeks ago enough to make one for my hubby and I.
19 years….20 this September!
I have been married for 5 years last September to my highschool sweetheart. We have spent together everyday (literally) for 10 years straight. There hasn’t been a day apart and we are more in love then ever!
