 Couple in US Has Been Happily Married for 81 Years

Recently, the media reported on a US couple, who celebrated their 81st marriage anniversary, making them the longest married pair in the country.

Ann, now 97, asserted that 81-year long marriage hasn't been a lovey-dovey thing, but they have learnt to accept each other's way of life, agreements and disagreements.

The couple, who had eloped to evade Ann's father's plans to have her marry a man 20 years her senior, has 5 children, 14 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren.
