Speaking of nuclear smackdowns, the President that put the literal nuclear smackdown on Japan was married to this:

She looks like my granny.

Re: Harry and Mrs. Truman: there’s a great story in Harry Truman’s biography about how he had to leave town alone (as President) for several weeks; when he came back, he and the Missus broke the bed getting “reacquainted” LOL.

Mrs. Truman was very embarassed when she reported the damaged furniture to the White House staff. :0)

Well she was almost of "granny age" when they married.

Actually, the marriage of Bess and Harry Truman was a very touching love story.

He wooed her for about twenty years, and worked hard to have something to offer her as a man.

They married relatively late in life.

Read David McCullough's biography Truman and you will be surprised at their love affair.
