Connecticut Couple Married for 80 Years and Counting

Here's a story about a couple that has been married for 80 years. That's right, 80 years.  Love these photos and I love their story.

"Though the couple is hesitant to give out marriage advice, their secret to so many happy years together is simple: compromise and don't hold a grudge."
"I'm always blown away by their incredible optimism, deep sense of compassion and modesty," granddaughter Heather Mitchell said before their anniversary. "They are true beacons - inspirational people who emit such joy without even knowing it."
I like this quote from Mr. Betar the best.  "Get along. Compromise. Live within your means and be content," Betar said, before adding, "And let your wife be the boss."
