My grandparents were also married on Thanksgiving Day, but they didn’t make it 80 years—my grandfather passed away in the 64th year of their marriage. One secret to being able to celebrate an 80th anniversary is to get married young.

I think basically comes down to pick well and treat nice.

The first requirement for being married eighty years is to live to be at least 100.

Hard to let it go when you’re both mucking with the thermistat.

Not every couple can afford separate houses for 80 years. ;)

Too many couples expect each other to conform to their wishes.

Edna sees God in their marriage: "I feel like God must have put us together because I think we just belong together.

There's the reason...

You know, now that I think about it, Maxwell Smart, 86, was also married to his wife, 99. But their series didn’t last nearly as long.

They became boyfriend and girlfriend in the fifth grade so it’s more like 90 years. Not having previous relationships reduces complications too.

Getting married in 1931 and enduring what they did for the first 25 years of their marriage, everything else since then was probably just a walk in the park.......
