Mark Hamill has a lot to celebrate!

On Instagram on Monday, the Star Wars actor shared that he and his wife Marilou Hamill are ringing in four decades of marriage.

In a sweet collage, three pictures feature the couple at fancy functions over the years, and one snapshot shows the duo with their three children, Nathan (born 1979), Griffin (born 1983) and Chelsea Elizabeth (born 1988).

Mark, 67, captioned the post with a Maya Angelou quote: “In all the world, there is no heart for me like yours. In all the world, there is no love for you like mine.”

“40 years and counting….,” he added romantically. “#NoMeWithoutYou.”

The Hamills tied the knot in December 1978 at their home in Malibu. In 1981, Mark and Marilou — who was a dental hygienist when she met her husband — gave PEOPLE insight into the early years of their relationship.

Their first date was a trip to the movies. “I took her to Annie Hall to see if she had a sense of humor. I dropped women if they didn’t,” Mark said.
