The World's Longest Marriage - Married For 85 Years! by FBS: 4:23pm On Mar 12, 2010
The world's longest marriage

Herbert and Zelmyra Fisher of New Bern, N.C., hold the world record for life in wedded bliss: 85 years. He's 104, and she's 101.

On their May 13 anniversary, they will join an elite club: the longest marriages on record. One couple got a big head start on their marriage. You must go back more than 200 years to find the other couple married 86 years.

A Fisher time line: Around their 10th anniversary, this everyday household appliance hit the carpet. When they celebrated their 25th anniversary, this song was a hit (watch videos). When they marked their 50th, this irritating icon was everywhere (see pictures, if you must). By the time they reached their 75th year of marriage, we were hooked on this reality show.

The Fishers dabbled in social media by tweeting their secrets to a long, happy marriage for Valentine's Day last month.

Zelmyra Fisher still gets around with a walker, and Herbert loves to watch this on TV. They credit their marital success to faith in God, a loving family and few big fusses over their long marriage.

That's good news especially with the high ratings of divorce going on in these past years. . .
It's good knowing about 2 people who are still married for almost a Century. . . cheesy
