Markoff said that the key is to listen to each other and even if one doesn't agree with another, the couple has to communicate.

She added that a couple has to speak in a language which they can understand and listen to what the other has to say.

The couple, who met at Betty's cousin's wedding, have two children, five grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren together.
