Centenarians Married For 82 Years Share Secret To A Happy Marriage

January 17, 2020 by Good Living Guide. This post may contain affiliate links. 4 Comments

Everyone hopes for a long, happy marriage when they say their vows, but some couples give a whole new meaning to the concept. That’s the case for two centenarians in Charlotte, North Carolina, who just celebrated 82 years of wedded bliss.

That’s a Lot of Anniversaries

D.W. Williams and his sweetheart Willie first got married in 1937. Since then, they’ve lived out every word of the “for better or for worse” promises that most couples make on their wedding day. They have been through tough times, good times and everything in between. They had three children and dozens of grandchildren.

In May, the couple appeared on the Steve Harvey Show to talk about the secrets to a long, happy relationship. Despite prodding from Steve and his audience, the couple said they couldn’t offer any secrets because they didn’t really have any.

“We just find funny things to talk about,” said Willie.

They Love God and Each Other

Their granddaughter believes it’s their faith that binds them. “They still go to church every Sunday,” she said. “They love God and each other.”

D.W. put it simply during an interview with a local news program. “Don’t fuss,” he said, meaning he never argues with any decision Willie makes. Who knew it could be that easy?

    Looks like you’re ready for a lot more happy years. I’ve been married almost 60. We have a lot more years to go, to match you. Not always easy , on both ends. Lol
