Percy and Florence Arrowsmith, who celebrated their 80th wedding anniversary Wednesday, say the secrets of the world's longest marriage are don't sleep on an argument, always share a kiss and hold hands before going to bed.
Percy Arrowsmith, 105, and his 100-year-old wife were married on June 1, 1925. They met at their church in Hereford in western England, where he sang in the choir and she was a Sunday school teacher.
Guinness World Records said the pair held records for the longest marriage for a living couple and the oldest aggregate age of a married couple
That is so sweet. Many more good wishes to them. :clapbig::clapbig::clapbig:

My great-grandparents just barely made 75. They got married in 1916 when she was 16 and he was 24. They had known each other about two weeks. Today he would have been thrown in jail. He lived to be a month shy of 100 and she made 98.

Joe must be some good genetics in your family to live that long. Do you look like either one of your grandparents ?
