It’s quite uncommon to see married couples staying together for decades in today’s world. When you inquire about the secret to their long-lasting marriage, the responses are usually varied.
One time, a couple told us to never go to bed mad at each other, and we really took that to heart. Trust and communication are also super important for new marriages.
A couple from North Carolina should be praised for being married for 82 years. They also celebrated their 103rd and 100th birthdays just a week apart!
And their secret to a long and happy married life is pretty direct.
D.V. Williams, who is 103 years old, and Willie Williams, who is 100 years old, had a big party in Charlotte. They celebrated their anniversary and birthdays with all their friends and family, singing and having a great time together.
BJ Williams-Green said it’s nice to see them doing well at this age, it’s a blessing that they’re still around.
The couple is so close to getting into the Guinness Book of Records for being the oldest married couple based on their combined age. Right now, the record is held by Miyako, who is 100 years old, and her husband Masau Matsumoto, who is 108 years old, from Japan.
The Japanese husband and wife believe that the reason the woman is so patient is because of their many years of marriage.
But D.V. And Willie said they didn’t have a great secret to their success, “Just be nice to each other”, Willie Williams said.
