They are still together, but then, I guess 14 isn't completely "raised". But I foresee that they will be together twice as long as they have been.

Still together, still happy.

My parents only ever got married because I came along, so I guess it was inevitable that they would eventually be divorced. They got divorced when I was about 12 or 13, and both remarried. Given the fact that my mom and my sister both frequent Survey Central, I'm not sure if I should go into any further detail...

Shortly after my parents were married my father was shipped overseas. He came home in one piece to meet his four year old daughter. They raised us to have very strong family values and seemed to be very happy together and with us until my father passed away on his 69th birthday and my mother the following year. I'd like to think they're still together (and my father has that little red sports car he always wanted)

my parents took "til death do us part" very seriously. If they hadn't passed away i have no doubt they would still be together. I think their relationship may have spoiled me in that I thought I would have the same thing when I got married and had kids. Unfortunately that was not the case and my kids would not be able to answer they survey the same way.

**ron2112 I didn't raise you to hold back with your feelings. The idea here is to give honest answers. Say whatever you feel. I'll deal with you later ;)

love you! (is it ok to say that i here?)

They should have divorced decades ago. When my sister and I were kids, we planned out how we were going to deal when they finally got around to doing it, and we agreed that it would be a good thing, but they've never managed to. It's Not My Problem anymore. Good range of answers!

I suppose you could say so; they're both dead.

My parents have been separated for 20 years, never made it official with a divorce though.

my parents appear to be the perfect role models for how to be a happily married couple.

My parents are still together but they really don't like each other. They obviously need the relationship. I can't understand it, but at least I don't have to live with it anymore.

Although they are both dead now, they were married about 50 years & had a VERY unhappy marriage. My aunt once said, "They seemed happiest when they were miserable together." How sad.

My parents have been together for 31 years in a relationship that drives me crazy but seems to make them happy. I was just thinking of doing a survey like this, Bill, but you have a much better range of answers than I could have thought of.

They are still married and still live in the same dwelling.

My mother has often said if she had to do it all over again, she would not marry my father. She has no plans to leave him, though. **what Atzilut said.

They've both been married twice - to each other. Yes, that's right, they divorced, and later remarried each other! They are happy, now (so far as I can tell, anyway).

Mom's dead, so I have to say that they are not together.

They divorced when I was six. My dad moved in with someone immediately and married her in 3 years. My mom started living with someone and only married him recently. My dad has since divorced the second and gone on to a third ...

Together and happy (so far as I know). basically, even when they were having problems, they didn't bring it up with the kids, it was between them.

I don't know many couples that are my parents age (47-50) that are together. My parents divorced when I was 12. My mother never remarried but dad just tied the knot last year with a creepy crawler just about 10 years older than myself.

My mom is a pretty together person. My dad is not and never was in the first place... They are still married and residing together, yet their emotional connection is basically nonexistent.

I've never seen my parents discussing. Never. Very strange...
