John and Ann Betar told ABC News that they considered themselves "blessed."
"We are very fortunate. It can be repeated and repeated," Ann, 97, said "It is unconditional love and understanding. We have had that. We consider it a blessing."They said their secret to so many happy years together is simple: compromise and don't hold a grudge.

Wow, the man was 21 and the woman was 17 when getting married. Even 27 year old girls are "too young" (read immature) to get married these days. How times have changed. Congratulobia to them!
They are truly blessed to be in Holy Matrimony for 80 whole years!
I pray that marriages can be like this! Not the 1 week to 2months types we see about the place.

80 years and still happy ever after...WOW! Their recipe is so solid.
http://theglamfile.blogspot.com
Wow this is lovely
In a country that is high in divorce rate, these couples deserve a great standing ovation. True love seems to enhance longevity, they have lived a fulfilled life seeing their grandkids and great grand kids. The problem with couples nowadays is selfishness instead of selfless love, remember find someone who loves you equally as you love him or her and definitely you will probably beat the 80 years.
This is what Happily Ever After is. This is what it looks like
Wen I see long cooments like dis,I usually ignore dem,bt dis stopped me. Cool. I love.
Mumu nigerians...everytn is prayer

Am sure his wife gives him peace at home too,she doesnt nag.Just ignores his flaws,compromises and thereby makin her self happy too.
BEST POST I'VE READ SO FAR ON THIS BLOG, VERY INSPIRATIONAL.
WoW,dy are blessed indeed!
Bastard am sure you where born out of wed luck,that's why you are so bitter.idiot
Why hate on them,or are you a result of a broken marraige?get ur stupid self out of here you stupid moron,Just cos ur mother was thrown out of ur fathers house for been unfaithful to his,doesn't mean you should go about hating on those who are enjoying marital bliss.
Bastard am sure you where born out of wed luck,that's why you are so bitter.idiot
i pray for such a marriage.getting married to your best frnd is d best relationship ever.Congrats to d oldest couple
This is called GRACE of God! amazing! god please keep my hubby and i alive and healthy to share our own testimony too! God bless your souls! Marriage is a great thing!
Na dem cause ur parents divorce
Congratulations Sir and Ma. I pray God keep ur home and bless u more and more. U are an example to our generation... I also wish u d very best
Everyone saying "i claim this,', 'i tap into this', etc.....sweerie it doesn't work that way! A great and solid marriage takes hardwork ,smartwork and most def prayers; not forgetting the abundance of Grace available on any union. U dnt claim a great marriage, its not one of the fruits of the spirit or gift of the spirit....it is 2 people that have come 2geda understanding and acknowledging the value of their convenant and vows and are committed despite all odds to give it what it takes to make it work and not just work, but work excellently well! So lets all wake up from the mills and booms 'make believe' halucination about relationships and marriage. May our generation and more to come celebrate many Greater, Glorious and enviable marriages IJN Amen! and Linda sweerie may ur marriage be one of such IJN Amen!
