With Valentine’s Day upon us, so too are the long supermarket lines of people grabbing last-minute flowers and chocolates while others are hoping for the on-time delivery of edible fruit baskets — all in the name of love.

Yeah, I know these folks may not be conservatives, but the very idea they have been in love all these years is charming.
Question: Who here at FR is married to the High School Sweetheart?
Ja Rule? What is that?
I’m married to my High School Sweetheart. Sorta. The thing is - we didn’t know each other in High School. Mrs. R2 is two years older than I. And we both went to the same High School; but we didn’t know each other then. Only later after we began dating did we make that connection.
Kobe would have been on the list.
In September, I’ll celebrate 50 years married to the same woman. I brought her back as my souvenir of Vietnam.

Today is my 35th anniversary.
Nice.
I know someone who married after meeting someone at their high school reunion. They were in the same class but didn’t hang out together in high school. But they met at the reunion and started seeing each other and things happened for them.
We started dating when I was a senior in high school and she was in 10th grade. We are married 50 years last August.
So, starring in a bunch of porn flicks doesn't matter?
My wife and I met at church in California when I was a Junior and she was a Sophomore. She was a greeter for the high school group. When I walked in, she took the other two girl greeters to the restroom to tell them she had dibs.
We dated for a year and then her father moved her family to Oklahoma City.
We kept in touch by mail for a year and three months. My parents were really impressed because they knew I hated to mail letters. We averaged between 3 and 4 letters a week. I arranged to visit her by hitching a ride to St. Louis for a Young Americans for Freedom convention. I saw her on the way there and on the way home.
We both arranged to go to University of Oklahoma. She passed up a teachers college in Oklahoma.
We got married just before our senior year. We celebrated our 47th anniversary last year with a cruise.
Happy Anniversary. Mine is in June. Will be 40 years.
Married Him right out of High School 1963. He had graduated in 61 from same School. We had a Wonderful Marriage not Perfect but Wonderful. He went to be with the Lord January 2017, and Yes I miss Him everyday. Happy Valentines Day to all. Two Beautiful Daughters, 7 Grandchildren, one GreatGrandchild and one on the way. The Lord is good.
Is it a coincidence that they are all famous men married to non-celebrity women? Any examples of the opposite?
How about just being a little more gracious? It’s their relationship, not yours. With all the divorces out there any long-standing marriage is admirable.
The odds that TWO famous people met in high school are pretty large. Even larger if you count the amount of years together that this list represents.
My mother married her high school sweetheart. 50 plus years after high school.
She was too young to marry when he first asked her. She later married my father and raised a wonderful family. He married and also had a successful family.
After they were both widowed - he asked her again to marry him. She said yes! They had 11 happy years together until their deaths 3 weeks apart.
Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn.
Married mine right out of highschool. 42 years this coming July
