A couple from Miami has just earned the title of the world's longest married couple, after records verified that they've been married for an astonishing 83 years.
Eleanor and Lyle Gittens, 107 and 108 years old respectively, said that the secret to their long-lasting marriage is simply that they love each other.
LongeviQuest, a website that maintains records of individuals aged 100 years or older, verified the couple's 1942 marriage certificate, U.S. Census records, and other relevant documents.
The couple met during a college basketball game and have been together ever since. They got married on June 4, 1942.
