This couple has been married for 80 years...and they say just ONE thing will make your relationship last forever

Although it did people's life span extended, there are still more of those who only live into their 80s. But it seems incredible that someone can spend so many decades in a marriage - Masao Matsumoto and his wife Miyako managed to do it!

The Japanese are the oldest living couple in the world... and thus entered the Guinness Book of Records. Masao is 108 years old and Miyako is 100. They were married in October 1937, but they never made a celebration in honor of the emergency marriage, because at that time there was a war in Japan, which her husband was also a part of. This did not stop them from creating a happy marriage and family – are the proud parents of five daughters, who gave them 13 grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren.

Masao and Miyako Matsumoto from #Japan are now officially the world's oldest living married couple with an aggregate age of 208 years 259 days as of Wednesday 25 July. On that day Masao was 108 years 16 days while his Miyako was confirmed as being 100 years 243 days old. The couple married in 1937 with their 81st wedding anniversary coming up in October. At that time they had five children (all daughters), 13 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren, with their 25th expected this month. Miyako was still preparing family meals at the age of 98 while her husband continued to watch sports until earlier this year when his eyesight reached a point which meant he was no longer able to watch his favorite games on TV. Nevertheless, their love for each other has seen them enter the record books. #guinnessworldrecords #marriage #marriages #marriagelife #marriedcouple #loveofmylife #foreverlove #centenarian #congratulations🎉 #celebration🎉 #familycelebration
