You Can’t Quantify My Love
Last night we started talking about how many years we’d been together. Eight. Then one of us asked, “How many days have we been married?”
Our cursory calculations (I didn’t go strictly, like September is 30 days, October is 31, etc.) showed that we’ve been married for 3,064 days.
When we put it that way, all of a sudden it was…different. Thinking about the fact that I have spent over 3,000 nights sleeping beside him… over 3,000 days waking up to his face. They weren’t all happy nights. And there were mornings when it didn’t feel like the “joy came in the morning…”
It’s a silly exercise, but quantify your marriage. How many days have you been married?
It made me thankful for all 3,064 days. I can’t imagine loving another person the way I love Abraham. There just something about us….
And it made me realize that my love for him can’t be quantified. We know we love each other with a ferocity that astounds both of us–I didn’t know I could have that in this life. I certainly didn’t know that at Day 1.
It took me 3,064 days to get here, to love him the way I do. What’s it gonna be like after 3,064 more?
brett and i have been married for 962 days. can’t wait for another 962!
My rough calculation is 2,454. Such a great adventure!
Roughly 3630… we just passed our 10 year anniversary mark. And we are indeed, just getting started.
4,915! I love being married, for better or worse.
5840 on the 24th of this month. It just keeps getting better too.
Which reminds me. A friend of mine once told me “My wife and I are celebrating 30 years of marriage today. She just thanked me for 12 great years.”
1572 days, and it just gets better… I can’t believe that marriage can be so much fun in some moments. I pray to go smoothly (survive together!) through the dark days of difficulties if they come.
8294. That’s sort of fun to know!
2920 on March 13th!! That is amazing to think about! Thanks, Molly!
About 3375 for us!
8,454, give or take for a few leap years.
About 2965; we were married 8 years in December.
I love your honesty–the nights haven’t always been happy, or the mornings joyful. But like you, I love my husband more now than I did on Day 1, and more than I knew was possible–in a different way than I knew was possible.
as of today it’s 9,292 – thanks for another perspective!
3141 for us! Thanks for the encouragement to think about this today! Love it!
3,175 based on 8 and 3/4 years. :-) That’s a lot of days! My parents, however, have been married 17,520 days.
Happy (belated) Valentine’s day! Celebrate your LOVE!
about 180 so far for us!
can’t wait to get up to those thousands others are posting :)
Okay, well, I’m not married, but there is an online calculator which will make your calculation easier and more precise! Here’s the link: http://www.timeanddate.com/date/duration.html

This post just makes me smile. A lot.
What an amazing and cute idea!
