Yes, I'm quite happily married and as long as my wife doesn't get sick of some of the crazy stuff I do, we'll be that old couple on the porch.
It's not that I couldn't imagine seeing myself with anyone else, it's that I wouldn't want to be with anyone else. It'll sound sappy, but we're in love and married because we love each other - no other reason. As long as we both keep that in mind, we'll be fine.

Yes, actually I do see myself being married with my husband after 30-40 years and beyond that. For me marriage is not only between my husband and me, it is a covenant from God. And I don't want to break that. I am just blessed to have a husband who is easy to go with and after being married for more than a decade we do our best to love, respect, and have an open communication with each other. We are both doing our best to let each other grow and support each other. I think respect is very important in a relationship and marriage at that.
There are rough times in marriage but with God's help I'm sure we are both going to weather it out. As long as there is love and God in our marriage we'll be together till death.

In forty years I will be ninety, and what a blessing it would be if my ninety one year old wife were still by my side. On Sunday morning we will walk to the little church at the corner. We will have grandchildren and great grandchildren and we will all gather at my house for Thanksgiving each year. The newspaper will carry an article with a picture of my sweetie and I dancing at our 65th wedding anniversary, and I will be writing that book I always said I would write. Peg will have the most beautiful flower garden in the state, and I will finally hire somebody to mow my lawn for me. Each year we would spend January and February in Florida.
I guess you could say that I can see it all pretty clear.

Well, I've been married 20 years, so in 30-40 years I see us as two very old people who will be enjoying our great-grandchildren by then (probably sooner). That is, if I don't clock my husband upside the head with the iron skillet before then....

In 40 years.. yes I think we'll be together. There will be some uncertainties. Such as exactly where we will be, and how many grandkids will be visiting us. But thats part of the fun.
Other things that I don't know will be the questions of will cats be involved, will I have a beard, where will I be able to park my flying car. The truth is that I don't know and at this time it doesn't really matter. We know the important stuff for now and the rest can take care of itself

I got married because I wanted to make a life with my partner. We both realize that there is going to be rocky points in our marriage over the years, mountains that we will have to climb together, but we are honest and upfront with one another and keep a very open relationship so that we can climb up any hill together. I make sure to have date night at least once a month with my spouce so that we can step away from family, kids, and work and have the just us time together which helps a lot. And we try and talk things out, finding a way to "fight fair" opening up about our feelings, and actions, but not taking low blows just to hurt one another, which helps lay a very solid foundation for a lasting marriage.
I am excited to see how we each react to growing old together, but the growing old is going to be fun because I made sure to pick a partner that I wanted to do so with.
