26 years (Option 2)

According to George Bernard Shaw, a marriage takes place "when two people are under the influence of the most violent, most insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions. They are required to swear that they will remain in that excited, abnormal, and exhausting condition continuously until death do them part."
He further comments:
"Recall the aura, the ecstasy, the perfectness of your wedding day. The vows are meticulously and faultlessly repeated. A stimulating honeymoon reinforces the idealistic glow. Nothing could ever alter the thrill of this hallowed occasion. Then comes reality. The couple soon realizes marriage is not an ongoing celebration of celestial dimensions. It's a lifelong process of down-to-earth hard work -- worth every drop of sweat it produces."

Aside from having children, there is nothing as rewarding, satisfying and stimulating as a sweat-producing marriage.

Hmm, this option's more demanding than the other one. But I like them both. And I love you.
