Secret
of the Longest Marriage
LONDON (Reuters) - Percy and Florence Arrowsmith
married on June 1, 1925, celebrated their 80th anniversary
this month. The Guinness World Records said the
couple held the title for the longest marriage and
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."
