Are your parents still together?

My parents will be renewing their vows on February of next year. They'll be celebrating their 25 years of marriage. I'm kinda happy for them. Throughout my life I've seen them go through rough times and the best times. I'm sure they'll go more than 25.
 
My parents have been married for about 18 years or so. They argue sometimes, but not too often. On the rare occasion they do fight, it's never anything serious. The 'worst' time was when we were going to go on vacation, and my parents argued, so my father took my brother and I on the trip without our mother. It was fine when we got back, though.
 
i'm not sure how to answer this question. technically, my "parents" were never married in the first place -- i'm an illegitimate child. but my mother married my step-father three years after my birth, and they're still together.
 
Parents been married for almost 25 years and they're still going strong! I'm really close to my parents and I'm glad they've going strong for such a long time. They've had a few fights but it's just made them become even stronger
 
I don't know the exact number of years that my parents have been together since I'm a terrible kid but I know it's around 30, possibly a few more. They argue sometimes, and I know my dad gets frustrated with my mom a lot, but they're still together. I was honestly a little worried that they might have some rocky patches once my brother and I moved out since they'd only have each other for company in the house but when I come home, I notice they argue a lot less and they go out for dinner and do stuff together all the time so I guess things are working out just fine. :P

Then again, the only arguments they ever get into are really petty since my dad has a pretty high temper. XD; He gets angry over her filling up the hard drive on the PVR more often than anything else, really, so any worries I ever had were probably pure paranoia.
 
My parents are still together. i think this year they will celebrate their 18th wedding anniversary. They argue a lot but still they are happy
 
My dad's widowed. He's looking at getting into a relationship with someone after four years, but it's complicated. Even though he doesn't need it, he had my blessing to start a new relationship with someone a few weeks ago, but after discovering some of his thoughts that he shared with this person, I'm considering retracting that. Because these thoughts they share make me furious.

I butt heads with my dad a lot and we get into fights. He tends to yell over stupid things, and because of that, he tends to yell at lot. I have a problem of yelling back at him when he starts yelling simply because he's yelling (he's really the only person I have the problem with). When someone starts yelling at me, I usually lower my voice more and more as they go on getting louder because it pisses them off and I'm a troll like that. I care about him a lot, but sometimes I feel he brings out the worst in me.
 
My parents are still together, for over 20 years. There has been a few times when they really freaked me out, once Mum actually marched out after having a fight and told me and my siblings to pack our bags cause we were leaving..
Luckily, we're Catholic (meaning they can't get divorced), so we went to the priest and he talked to Mum and Dad and now it's sorted out, they've only had one fight since then but they're both really trying to be patient which is good :)
 
My parents are legally still married but they split their ways (and possessions) before I was even born. This hasn't prevented them from still being great friends and spending some months together every year, nor has made me feel a stanger to any of them.
 
Nan and Pop live together, yeah, but my actual parents weren't together for long after I was born. Plus they weren't married or anything, so ya. Idc anyway, I don't really consider them my parents.
 
Yeah, mine are still together, though given the number of shouting matches between them, I'm really not sure how they're still together.
 
Yup. Been married for three-and-a-half years before I was born. Dating I don't know how long before that.

Sure arguments happen, but that's marriage. And life in general. My parents are literally Ray and Deborah from Everybody Loves Raymond. They drive each other nuts, but they love each other.

You can get legally divorced. Just in "the eyes of God" your not divorced. Till death do you part. But, in the eyes of the law you can get divorced.

My parents are still together. Recently had 26th anniversary.

They bicker a lot, and they argue a ton, but that's just kinda how they talk to one another. Like a secret code. They might seem "holy crap wtf are your parents really unhappy or somethin" to another person, but I know them both well enough that all the "you're an ass" talk is superficial when it comes right down to it. They love each other and have a bond that can't be easily broken even if they tried. The complete each other too well.

I don't think I could've gotten better parents, in all honesty. I learn from both their pros and cons, and they balance me out so I recognize the strengths and weaknesses of each of them easily.
 
My birth-Father left when I was about 2. My mom and step-dad got together when I was about six or seven. It was good in till my step dad found he had bipolar disorder I was about 14 at the time. Then I guess he kind of gave up on a lot of things. I could till my mom was really unhappy about the whole thing. They both were cheating on each other. I know about my mother other (bf). Then they would have all out war. My mother slept in the master and he slept in the living room. So when I turn 16 my mom and step-dad had a big blow out. it was bad for a couple of years but now my step-dad is doing alot better. They are no longer together.but they are actually really civil to each other when comes to my sister and me.

My parents are divorced. My father used to live in a different town for some time, but a few years ago he returned home, for various reasons like finances, for the kids, but also because his health began to deteriorate. They argue a whole lot, sometimes to the point where I try to put up my headphones and play music as loud as possible to drown out the sounds. It can frighten me sometimes, really. My mother has a really hard time arguing with anybody, and she always goes berserk if somebody has even so much as a single objection to her opinion, which causes her to go into a complete rant about how everybody always needs to have a counter-argument to everything she says. It's horrible having to hear it sometimes.
 
Separated and last I checked in the process of getting a divorce for reason I would rather not delve into. So I've been living with Mom for the past few years seeing my Dad perhaps once or twice a year somewhere. Last time it was in Minnesota in which we all went to see him at the hospital. It was... a very awkward visit at first but (at least between him and us kids) I think our visit really helped him recover.
 
They were, but my dad passed away a couple of months ago.
