How long do you think you would have to know someone to marry them?

We dated for two years, he was the first one I really felt comfortable with from the start. He met my family and I met his. Everyone blended well. Our views and goals were the same.
It felt right and it was right. We have been together for 49 years,
We get under each others skin now and then but the base of our marriage as never been questioned and has remained as strong as the day we said, I do.

99 years, 4 months 14 hours and 2 and a half minutes................if I was in a hurry. ;)

Actually, I'm not that impulsive, and the good thing about getting older, is that I've learned to take things more slowly. :)
 
Well, according to Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, you have to choose the right person. From what I could find on the Net, they dated for no more than a year.

“It’s hard to live until you’re 95 years old,” Carter told People magazine in 2019. But having a supportive spouse certainly helps, he said.

After he existed the Presidency, I was in Plaines, Ga. I asked about him at the local store. They said "Jimmy" was in just a few minutes before, he was riding his bike. The store people said to go to Jimmy's home and say 'Hi", he loved to meet people. My girlfriend and I found his house. It was a nice, but rather normal looking ranch. Not accustomed to meeting Presidents, I didn't have the guts to ring the bell. Gee, I wish I did. I don't know of any ex President, who accomplished more than he did after he left office.
