Who's parents are not Divorced

I was talking to my friends (we are all under 35) and I realized i am the only one with parents who are still married. One of my friends parents aren't together because his mother passed when we were kids (but his dad was cheating on her anyway) and everyone else's parents are divorced. So are your parents still together or are the divorced?

My parents AND my wife's parents are still married. We even got married first *then* had kids. That puts us in quite the minority these days.

In my family my parents are divorced in fact my mom has been divorced twice but is married to her third husband of 10 years and my dad has been divorced 3 times. My mom has 4 5 siblings and only 2 of them are still married with 30 something year old children. Also I am married my second time and my Ex husband is on his 3rd wife. P.S I am not proud of being divorced but it does take "2" to make a marriage work...

Well I'm 25 and my parents have been married for 28 years. My husband is 26 and his parents are divorced. His mom only remarried once (they are still together) and his dad is on his 3rd wife!

A lot of kids are dealing with divorce today. If you are one of them and finding it painful, I wish you strength and understanding. And keep this in mind, better off divorced than living in hell or worse - dead.

My parents would have celebrated their 50th this past October, but Dad passed in June. My in-laws have just recently celebrated their 54th year.

Parents still married after 52 years, but obviously not happy. Just the time by itself says nothing about the quality of their marriage.
I think they might have been better off finding the right partner in their lives. Not advocating divorce, but living together just because of obligation is wearing thin on both of them.
