Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter celebrate 76 years of marriage

How lovely — diamond plus one.

[Washington Examiner] Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter celebrated their 76th marriage anniversary on Thursday. They are the longest-married presidential couple in the history of the United States.

Wedded on July 7, 1946, the former president and first lady made plans to enjoy a quiet anniversary for their marriage that has lasted over three-quarters of a century. This follows a party in their hometown of Plains, Georgia, last year for their 75th anniversary that was attended by such political figures as former President Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Jimmy Carter is now 97, while his wife is 94 and has a birthday coming up next month. The former president was a 21-year-old U.S. Naval Academy graduate when he married Rosalynn Carter, who was 18 at the time. "The best thing I ever did was marrying Rosalynn," Jimmy Carter said in 2015. "That’s the pinnacle of my life."

#3 Yes, they are presenting a great example here. Wish more people would follow them.

My wife and I are only at 46 years and probably won't make it to 76...so congratulations to those who do!
