World’s Oldest Married Couple Share Their Love On Valentine’s Day | TODAY
You know they love each other to make it 85 years together with no children. That means the only thing that kept them together is each other. Their love is a choice, not any obligation.
My husband and I have a child and I'm with him by choice.
@@karaa7595 That's awesome. I'm not saying married people with kids are all only together because of their kids, but some are, and most married people who ever considered divorced thought about the affect it would have on their child. This couple made it to 85yrs waking up with only each other to consider. Having kids is a beautiful thing and a blessing. However, often times people feel sorry for couples who never had children, but this couple showed a different side of what happiness and love looks like without ever having a child. Long lasting love is still possible. The idea of being chosen (and not for kids, money, success, etc.) is very romantic and desirable to me.
Obviously they feel obligated to support each other as well as love each other… I’m sure they had many years good and bad.
Children are a Blessing, not a burden. Only selfish people consider children to be a burden. God said "Be fruitful and multiply!" Children enrich a marriage.
@@mrsmarvelous1 ..I'm far from selfish because I chose to not bring a child into this world. And children actually are the worst thing for a marriage and numerous reports show that. When a couple have a child the focus becomes their child and their relationship falls to the side. Childfree couples are much happier than couples with children.
I'v noticed, all couples that have been together for 50+ 60+ years all have had a simple weddings, nothing to fancy. Simplicity seems to be the main key in all these relationships
Yeah maybe because back in their day, it wasn't normal or economical to have a big, expensive wedding like so many people go into debt for today
Yes!! People these days have their priorities so off. I am only 23, my husband is 33 and we are homebodies. We do not go out to the club, drink or party. We might buy each other gifts, but we do not care for material things and are raising our son the same way. We celebrate holidays without gifts, just by spending time together. :) Everyone looks at us like we are crazy when we say we do not have social media/go to the club/party/etc.. We rarely even eat out! Lol. We are just happy to be together. For 6 years we have just been working on bettering our future. I just graduated and am a registered nurse, while he just got his citizenship. I like to think we are healthier than most relationships these days.
That’s because today’s people want the wedding not the marriage.
Then what are we waiting for ya hilwe? Lol jk
@@googleuser216 ur only 23 and ur husband is only 33"""" more correct.
U act as if he's old or something
Wait a minute: he is 107 and the wife is 105? They both STILL have great sharp minds and memories; and good physical mobility. Wow. They are blessed and highly favored. God has been so gracious to them. Wow.
And they both look great for 105 and 107!
I wouldn't have thought they were as old as that,they don't look it.
My thoughts exactly. They’ve truly been blessed
Jenna is the perfect person to interview this sweet couple -- with, her Texas charm, compassion and humor!
Hello Deborah, how're you doing today??
My husband & I are celebrating 25 years this October. I'd rather have these past 25 years with him than a lifetime with someone else. I hope we have many more years together.
Congratulations 🥰🥰🥰
@@konnichiwa8762 thank you!
Can you please tell me what you think love is?
congratulations
Amen
this is what it actually means to grow old with the person you love. hopefully everyone can find that.
almost nobody finds that
Just like Allie and Noah were in the notebook
Being a child free person..that is my goal in life. I love the fact they traveled the world together. I also love the fact they met in college. Not many women were in college back then.
The fact that they were together 5 years before marriage. Wow. This was in the 30s no less. Beautiful couple ❤️
theyre like over a hundred each and she's like 2:53 "and he better not" LOOOL somethings never change so cute
So great to see that they are so in love after all these years and also that both of them are so sharp-minded despite their age!
Hello Deborah, how're you doing today??
I really wanna grow old with someone that special someone but I'm in no rush
This is real love and relationships goals for real😍
Holy Moly 107 and 105 years old, simply amazing, can´t believe it though, they do not look that age and their minds are still going strong. Anyways, this story blew me away, what a beautiful and touching video, the epitome of true love, priceless
John died yesterday... Rest in peace
Awww he makes a valentine! That’s so cute
This is just the sweetest thing. Well if we could all be this lucky!!!
He passed away a few months ago but how sharp they both are/were for being 107 and 105. Hard to even believe they are that old.
@philo betto - You’re right about that. I wish I had asked my grandmothers and great grandmothers about life in their younger years. I didn’t really have any grandfathers - my paternal grandfather died when I was not quite four and my maternal grandfather died about 10 years before I was born.
And Charlotte on October 16th 2021. Incredible how long they lived and were married.
Aww.
My heart melts... tears in my eyes right now.
Such a lovely story.
Warms my heart every time.
Holy crap 107 + 105 maybe them not having kids was the secret. Lol
Life is short but the beautiful thing is to be living together with your family as long as we could
We need more happy news stories like this, especially nowadays.
So many videos on here off couples being married for 80+ years 😱 this is just really amazing. I hope I stay married for that long.
Yeah it’s sad that the divorce rate is so high these days. I hope I find someone to grow old with . Not many people today are committed to it .
My grandparents were born in 1922 met in 1926. Started courting in 1934 nd got married in Nov 1944. My grandpa had a weeks leave from serving in Malta during the war nd that was wen they were married. They had 3 children nd 6 grandchildren nd 6 great grandchildren. Unfortunately they past away 5 years ago but would of been married 76 years this nov nd they are missed so so much xxxxxxxxx
Too Sweet!! Years Ago When Longest Married Couple Made Record..Husband Asked How..He Said Two Words..Yes Dear..
Good thing they're together for all these years that what is thick and thin love and death do us apart
Awh!! That love they share is really special!!😍😍🥰 I love the memories they remember! Too sweet!❤

Jenna was the perfect person to do this story. Imagine her grandparents meeting these two.
Henderson John, december 24th 1912 - october 16, 2020
Henderson Charlotte, november 8th 1914 - october 26, 2021
Finally a nice story after all of the nonsense.

They both went to college during the depression
♡ makes me want too cry !
Jenna did so well with this story
This two are terrific.
Beautiful people they are so nice to each other.
People say love is not ment to last yes it has but you both have to make the time and always tell each you love them and give them a hug❤
Hi pretty send me a message on Instagram _justin_latim or email Justinlatemore@gmail.com

Jenna made a joke about the illegal drinking that was quite funny, and it right over her co-hosts heads!!
i would love it if they had diaries and someone would publish them together
Beautiful!! I will start drinking wine per night also, plus I think their attitude towards life and each other also has a lot to do with their longevity!!
How sweet. What an inspiration. 😍

Every Filipino out there. Would tell " Sana all". Hahahahahhaha 💖

Soulmates. ;-;
So the secret to a long happy marriage is no children 🤔 ?
Goals AF
They have been together for 81 years 😅
Secret to long-lasting love: no kids
There are pretty old couples with more than 80 years of marriage with many childrens, too.
Holey Moley!
The man is is 107 and the woman is105 ? I cannot believe that ?
AND THEY STILL AMICE
are they still with us
we need an update
John passed away on Oct 16, 2020. Charlotte passed away on Oct 26, 2021.
@@blown22 :'-(
@@blown22 ohh 😟
Not having kids must be the secret! Kids will age you pretty fast.
Kids comes with stress...stress comes with free radical..body inflammation... accelerating aging...immune decline..high blood pressure..cardiovascular collapse...diabetics...dead! So you are pretty right there unfortunately! But that's circle of life.
Wow Amazing reminds me of the song by Justin Timberlake Mirrors.
How do you know that they are the oldest married couple
Sophia Straughn maybe the oldest on record.
GOD bless you
Hi
Our generation does not stay together because we only care about hooking up, “relationship goals” and this feminist nonsense. If you truly love someone you put pride aside.
Franchesca Martinez lmao yeah equality is so nonsensical.
Franchesca Martinez feminism is about equality which stems from putting aside pride like you said. We need to communicate more and honor each other’s needs and perspective in relationships
Franchesca Martinez a lot of feminists are in happy loving relationships
Feminism is about women not liking biological advantages men have, if they wanted equality it would be called egalitarianism.
What did God say?? It is not good for man to be alone. People just don't want to listen to His wisdom on His creation because they are deceived to believe he's not real. For all who have eyes to read and ears to hear, heed the wisdom and be blessed.
the 8 dislikes are jusstt haters 😑😑😑😑
I hate the way this girl says '' eachother'' its '' eachgoter''
what’s the world record for in history
I feel like the old couples have always been American.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
ill wait for queen elizabeth to break this record
Interviewer is a clown
Jesus do good good, I listening your story, I thought it's about maybe forgive past, I see there's happiness, listen Joel Osteen Thanks Lucy Kenyan Nairobi Kenya
😊
I'll Never ever be happy in my life time.
I never used social media from day 1. Facebook. Instgram. Snap or any of that.
I only watch youtube
I don't want any girl who uses those. And guess what. That girl. Doesn't exist lol. Christian girl. Jewish girl. Even Muslim girl. Doesn't matter what she is. She doesn't exist. So single forever I guess I am lol. It's cool Though! Sometimes. I wish I was a grown man in the 90s and 80s instead. Just a terrible terrible time in life for a good man to meet a good girl!
It's ok... you can be happy as you are.
This is a very rare thing.. even though it's something probably most of us crave!
It doesn't make your life better or worse, ultimately... it's about living the life that God intended for you, that makes the difference.😊
@@Sandra-bx6yy 100% Sandra!! I wish more people understood this.
@@tatianadaniel3569 🧡🤗 thank you.
💕💕💕💕
