80th ANNIVERSARY and A SMART MAN !
There was no picture so I borrowed this one
do you know who they are??
SECRET OF THE LONGEST MARRIAGE IS SAYING 'SORRY'
A British couple who hold the world record for the longest marriage said Wednesday their success was down to a glass of whisky, a glass of sherry and the word "sorry."
Percy and Florence Arrowsmith married on June 1, 1925 and will celebrate their 80th anniversary Wednesday.
The Guinness World Records said Tuesday the couple held the title for the longest marriage and also for the oldest married couple's aggregate age.
"I think we're very blessed," Florence, 100, told the BBC. "We still love one another, that's the most important part."
Asked for their secret, Florence said you must never be afraid to say "sorry."
"You must never go to sleep bad friends," she said, while Percy, 105, said his secret to marital bliss was just two words: "yes dear."
The couple have three children, six grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren and are planning a party soon.
"I like sherry at lunch time and whisky at night and I'm looking forward very much to my party," said Florence.

80 years! WOw! IT will be strange to me if I am ever married longer than I was at home growing up. Then you will have been w/the hubby longer than you were w/you parents.
It won't be strange the longer you are together, You'll see.
ah, I love "Ma and Pa Kettle"!
All these youngs ones would know anything about "Ma and Pa Kettle".
And that is truly sad.
Sigh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With today's problems, my own marriage of 22 years could be considered a miracle.
What are the odds of both spouses being blessed with longevity?
Yes, and they both have their senses. Totally mentally sound. It's a good thing!
Did anyone else notice what I did?
"I like sherry at lunch time and whisky at night..."
See, THAT right there is the secret to their 80 year marriage! They are drunk most of the days. Of course you can get along and stick together when you are throwing one back at lunch and then gargling with some booze before bedtime - bravo old timers.
That's why all he can say is "Yes dear". lol
I do agree on that avik,it would be difficult. I also think if the love and respect is there you don't always have to say "sorry". But I do think you should be able to discuss the problem what ever it is, not argue, discuss. I think communication is a most important thing in any kind of a relationship.
Remember the movie where Pa Kettle fell asleep under the heat lamp?
Peace,
Tor
Some studies say that alcoholic drinks are good for you in moderation.
Such as during lunch, dinner and before bed.
Excess is harmful.
Look at the ancient days.
When fresh drinking water was in short supply, wine was used, people had no choice back then.
