Indeed  Both our folks are still happily together so have set excellent examples for long and happy partnerships. Larkin would hate us.

Ignore Larkin - he's a misanthropic old bugger.
Have a lovely life together - it happens all the time.

Divorce seems to be the norm.

In 2 days' time, I will have been married for 30 years. I expect that means my husband has too

Late starters here; met MrW in January 2008, when I was 35 and he was 38. He said he wanted to marry me 5 weeks later, and we married in April 2009. Never been happier. Good things come to those who wait!

Got to agree with JB (mark it on the calendar folks its as rare as a rare event). Larkin was a miserable git - although he was a good poet.
We were cheerfully told that our marriage wouldn't last "5 minutes". Well 34 years later we're still sticking two fingers up to the nay sayers. We're unconventional but it works for us.
That's the secret really. Ignore all the advice you're given and do your own thing together as it were...
