Today, former President Jimmy Carter and former First Lady Rosalynn Carter are commemorating their 77th anniversary of marriage.
Few couples ever reach that milestone anniversary, and it increases their record for being the longest-married US presidential couple ever. It speaks much about their enduring love and dedication to one another.
The occasion marks the end of a trying year for both couples. Jimmy, 98, was revealed to be receiving hospice care in February after choosing to «spend his remaining time at home with his family.»
The Carter Center also said on May 30 that Rosalynn, 95, had been given a dementia diagnosis.
The long-married pair is still celebrating their anniversary together despite their current health issues. The Plains, Georgia, couple is reportedly keeping things simple by spending the day at home alone.
