Amelia Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Welsh couple have longest marriage A couple married for 81 years have been named the couple with the longest marriage. The grave of Thomas Morgan, 106, and wife Elizabeth, 105, were found in Elim Church, Cwmbran. They had 15 children reports the Mirror. Elizabeth died in 1891 two years before Thomas, making their combined age when she died 209. Graham Lawrence, 72, who found their gravestone and contacted the Guinness Book of World Records, said: "Their life span is truly remarkable."

darlene Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 That is a long time to be married and here I thought my parents had been married a long time. The end of March we are celebrating their 70th. My Dad is 96 and my Mom 93. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cricket Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Don't discount your parents' longevity! Sunday marks my in-laws' 40th anniversary. We're making a big "to-do" about it. Big dinner, slide shows, toasts, music, etc. I'm so happy to be able to go and share this special time with them. Their example of marriage has meant a great deal to me and I am in the mood for celebrating good stuff that God does!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatLakesGramma Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 My father-in-law is getting married May 1. He's 87 years old. I'm so excited! My soon to be stepmother-in-law is a real sweetheart. My mother-in-law died almost 2 years ago, shortly after their 60th anniversary. Due to a series of strokes, her mind went long before her body failed completely, and Dad was so faithful and kind in taking care of her when she could no longer take care of herself. It's time he had some real companionship again. I know it's a little off the topic, but I couldn't resist after reading Chrys' post about her in-laws' anniversary. Quote Catherine God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 73:26. "To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you." -- C. S.
