12 children, 159 grandchildren (might include some great grandchildren etc).

Cleovis and Arwilda are great names.

Great story.

Does this mean that each child had at least 12 children?

Here they are celebrating their 80th 2 years ago:

96 years old - 82 years of marriage.. hmm.

I guess 14 was legal back then - or do you subtract leap years?

It appears the key to this marriage, which is the key to every marriage, begins as the Bible begins with the wife saying and living out things like

"This is my husband. I love my husband, I love my children," Arwilda said. "I've got grandchildren out here in the crowd. I didn't intend to say all this but God has been so good to us."

The big reason for so many failed marriages today is the the demented and disastrous Women's Movement promoting the rebellion of women to not love and obey their husbands and often to not love their children but instead kill them before they are born.

Very unpopular statements but absolutely true and the truth, not lies, rebellion, and murder, is what sets people free.

God bless this wonderful couple.

My grandparents made it to 80 years. My grandfather died that same year at 100. My grandmother the next year at 101.

Unheard of in this day and age.

My wife and I just celebrated 30. We’ll see if she kills me before 80…

I wonder how many people feel like they've been married for 82 years?

[Old Grumpy]

I love stories like this. Congrats to their lifetime of marriage!

He should have taken the 50 years in the plea deal.... ;-)
