Lyle and Eleanor Gittens met at a basketball game at Clark Atlanta University in 1941 and married the following year. More than 83 years later, the Miami couple has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the longest-married living couple and the oldest married couple ever by combined age. Having lived through World War II, the Civil Rights Movement, and decades of change, they credit the longevity of their marriage to a simple principle: “Love, love, love.” Their story stands as a remarkable testament to commitment, friendship, and enduring devotion.
