I loved reading y’all’s story. My cousin has a similar story. She’s like Donetta, her husband is like James. Married at 17 and have been together 46 years now. They are like y’all—-always having fun adventures. That must be one of the keys to happiness and success. Congratulations!
I had a few friends like you two back in those days. They did not make it. It’s neat to know that some have. Thanks for sharing. I almost felt like I went to school with y’all. Had me thinking of old friends and times I have not thought of for decades. Congratulations, man. Hope y’all keep it rolling.
Thank you! Most of our other friends who had relationships then didn’t make it either. We’ve had the ups and downs for sure, but so glad we fought through it all. Appreciate it!!
Way to go, James! I'm glad those crazy teenage details worked themselves out for you and Donetta and that you've been able to stick with it for so many years! We're working toward our 51st and love to see other couples with the same kind of commitment.
Thanks, Mike! The stories I could tell, and might someday, would shock people that we're still here and together. LOL! We joke that we're both two stubborn rams who won't give up. 51 years ... WOW ... that is awesome. Well done!!

Thanks Lu! It’s great to know there are others out there like us. Haha. I don’t know what the secret is … maybe just stubbornness. 😁
Great story, James and Donetta!!
Thanks Mike!
