Well, we survived Cinco de Mayo and today is another big day \u2014 anniversary day. Just like last year, according to the experts, this one doesn\u2019t deserve any special designation. It sure seems like 49 years of marriage should be special \u201a but it\u2019s not. There are no traditional themes associated with the 49th wedding anniversary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the Census Bureau, more than half of currently married couples (55 percent) have been married for at least 15 years, and 35 percent have reached their 25th anniversary. But \u2014 only 6 percent have made it to their 50th wedding anniversary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I guess we\u2019ll just have to wait one more year for what is, apparently, the mother of all anniversary milestones. I\u2019ll just have to be content with the fact that we\u2019ve put one more year in the book that Claire has again made me laugh and be happy and appreciate her more than I did last year.
Tune in here next year for a much longer blog\u2026.
