America's longest married couple recently celebrated their 81st wedding anniversary, and 102-year-old husband John Betar has revealed the secret behind their incredible relationship - 'always agree with your wife!' John and Ann Betar’s relationship was based on something that lasts forever: true love.
They were best friends, living near each other as they grew up. John was the boy across the street that stole Ann’s heart. Then, they eloped together in a whirlwind ceremony before Ann could be married to another man, causing fights among their families.
Their dramatic marriage could have taken place in any classic romance, but it wasn’t just romantic fluff. It lasted so long and their love was so pure, they are now known as America’s longest married couple, about to celebrate their 81st anniversary.
Ann’s father planned for her to marry a man 20 years older than her, but John wouldn’t have it.
They drove off together in his Ford Roadster, infuriating their families and causing quite the commotion.
Their families didn’t think their marriage would last, which makes it even funnier that they were named by the Worldwide Marriage Encounter as 2013′s “longest married couple.”
They watched the world change together.
And John’s one piece of advice? “Always agree with your wife.”
But their love keeps them strong.
