John & Abigail Adams Anniversary

Today, October 25th, is the wedding anniversary
[link removed] of John and Abigail Adams. They were married on this date in 1764 when John was 29 years old and Abigail
[link removed] 20.

After an initial rocky start
[link removed] at their first meeting in 1761 (John was not impressed with Abigail or her sisters, and Abigail's mother was not impressed with him), they would court over the course of the next three years and then marry.

The numerous letters between them (over 1,100
[link removed] ) has left us a wonderful and heart-touching record of their life and times. The letters cover topics from
[link removed] their love for each other to everyday life, from politics to raising their children
[link removed] (they had 6 children, with 4 living to adulthood)--they talked about it all!

Here are just a few examples of their lasting loving relationship:

Dear Miss Adorable, I hereby order you to give [me] as many kisses and as many hours of your company after 9 o'clock as [I] shall please to demand, and charge them to my account. (John to Abigail: October 4, 1762
[link removed] )

I dare not express to you at 300 miles how ardently I long for your return. I have some very miserly wishes and cannot consent to your spending one hour in town till, at least, I have had you twelve. The idea plays about my heart, unnerves my hand whilst I write, [and] awakens all the tender sentiments that years have increased and matured. (Abigail to John: October 16, 1774
[link removed] )

[I] pray you to come on [as] soon as possible....As to money to bear your expenses, you must, if you can, borrow of some friend enough to bring you here. If you cannot borrow enough, you must sell horses, oxen, sheep, cows, anything at any rate rather than not come on. If no one will take the place, leave it to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field. (John to Abigail: May 14, 1789
[link removed] )
