Fiannan Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 As with any married couple, there are times when Frank and Anita Milford don’t quite see eye to eye. But they have never let the odd disagreement get in the way of their love for each other and their dedication to their marriage. To prove it, Frank, 100, and Anita, 99, today celebrate their 80th wedding anniversary, equalling the record for England’s longest-ever marriage.They say the secret to a lasting marriage is to iron out your arguments before bedtime and share a kiss and a cuddle every night before bed. Mrs Milford said: ‘It’s our golden rule. Couples these days don’t last long because they often don’t take enough time for each other. 'Our advice to young couples would be to make time for a little romance every day.’ Mr Milford added: ‘To win over your sweetheart you need a dose of old-fashioned chivalry and don’t let your standards slip. We do everything together even after 80 years.’ Still together after 80 years, Britain's oldest married couple celebrate their 'oak' wedding with a simple kiss | Mail OnlineTruly inspirational!
