Found this touching story in China Daily.
Zhang Mucheng and Xu Dongying were married in October 1930.
Eight children and 83 years later, they’ve become partners in the deepest sense.
Mrs. Xu is 105 tears old and Mr. Zhang 104.
The centenarians may have the world’s third longest-living marriage today, according to reports. How do you stay married to the same person for close to a century and survive your differences, big and small?
Says Zhang: “Our relationship philosophy is, ‘To lose is to gain’. If you’re unhappy about something, don’t dwell on it Think more of your partner’s welfare. Try to understand each other’s point of view, give in to one another, forgive each other.”
Now, aren’t those wise words…
