How To Make Marriages Last? Learn From This Couple Who Celebrated Their 90th Anniversary

Meet Karam Chand, 110, and his wife Kartari, 103, the world’s oldest married couple who celebrated their 90th wedding anniversary on December 11th. That’s right. They have been married since 1925.

The couple got hitched in 1925 in India, in a Sikh ceremony and have been together since.

 

The pair now live in Bradford, West Yorkshire,  England, and have 8 children, 27 grandchildren, 23 great grand-children. Woah!

 

Karam told The Sun, “It is a blessing to have been married and to have lived this long. Life and marriage is all about happiness, it is what is most important. We are happy to have been able to enjoy this day with our family. Occasions such as anniversaries and birthdays see our family come together and that makes us very happy.”

 

Karam and Kartari live with their youngest son Paul, his wife and two of his 4 children, and Paul says that the secret for their long lasting marriage was ‘no arguments’.

He added that, “If I knew they would have lived to have a 90th anniversary, then I might have put a bet on it. We are all very proud of them. Every day we get to spend with them is a bonus and I can only hope that this continues. I would like to advise people to appreciate the time they have with their parents and to look after them, as once they are gone, they are gone.

 

He also added, “Marriage is all about compromise and I believe my parents have had such a long marriage because they have had a happy and stress-free one. In all my years with them, I have never seen them argue and not once have I seen them become angry with each other. I believe that is their secret.”
