Percy and Florence Arrowsmith, who celebrated their 80th wedding anniversary Wednesday, say the secrets of the world's longest marriage are don't sleep on an argument, always share a kiss and hold hands before going to bed.

Percy Arrowsmith, 105, and his 100-year-old wife were married on June 1, 1925. They met at their church in Hereford in western England, where he sang in the choir and she was a Sunday school teacher.

Queen Elizabeth II sent her congratulations to the Arrowsmiths, who celebrated their anniversary at home with coffee and snacks and with family and friends.

"What a splendid achievement. I send you my warm congratulations and best wishes for your 80th wedding anniversary," the Queen's card said.

The Arrowsmiths, who have three children, six grandchildren and nine great grandchildren, claim the key to their long marriage is not to go to sleep on an argument. They say they always kiss each other and hold hands each night before going to bed.

"He can't settle down if I'm not holding his hand," Florence Arrowsmith said, "I think we're very blessed. We still love one another, that's the most important part."

Asked for their secret, Florence said you must never be afraid to say "sorry."

The couple's daughter Jane Woolley said her parents were both "very perky."

"She says she can't dance any longer but it feels good to have been married for 80 years," Woolley said. "She says she can still have a drink."

Guinness World Records said the pair held records for the longest marriage for a living couple and the oldest aggregate age of a married couple.

本周三(6月1日),珀西和弗洛倫斯·阿羅史密斯夫婦慶祝了他們的80周年結(jié)婚紀(jì)念日。這對(duì)老夫老妻說(shuō),長(zhǎng)久婚姻的秘密是不要把爭(zhēng)執(zhí)拖到明天,在睡覺(jué)之前牽對(duì)方的手,并且送上一個(gè)吻。

1925年6月1日是珀西和弗洛倫斯喜結(jié)良緣的日子,如今他們都已白發(fā)蒼蒼,珀西今年105歲,佛羅倫斯正好100歲。當(dāng)年他們是在英格蘭西部赫勒福德郡的一所教堂里相遇的,當(dāng)時(shí)他正在唱詩(shī)班里唱歌,而她是一位主日學(xué)校教師。

英國(guó)女王伊利莎白二世也給阿羅史密斯夫婦寄去了賀卡表示祝賀。結(jié)婚周年紀(jì)念日當(dāng)天,這對(duì)夫婦在家中和家人、朋友們一起喝喝咖啡吃吃點(diǎn)心,慶祝這個(gè)值得紀(jì)念的日子。

女王在賀卡上這樣寫(xiě)道:“這是多么偉大的成功啊。在你們80周年結(jié)婚紀(jì)念日里,我謹(jǐn)向二位致以熱情的問(wèn)候和最美好的祝愿!”

阿羅史密斯夫婦共有三個(gè)孩子、六個(gè)孫子和九個(gè)曾孫。他們認(rèn)為保持長(zhǎng)久婚姻的秘訣是不要帶著爭(zhēng)執(zhí)上床睡覺(jué),不要把問(wèn)題留到明天。每晚臨睡前他們都會(huì)執(zhí)子之手,互吻對(duì)方。

“如果我不握著他的手,他就很不習(xí)慣,無(wú)法平靜入睡。我想上帝一直在保佑著我們。我們始終愛(ài)著對(duì)方,這是最重要的?!备ヂ鍌愃埂ぐ⒘_史密斯說(shuō)。

這對(duì)夫婦的女兒簡(jiǎn)·伍利說(shuō),她的父母都過(guò)得“非常灑脫開(kāi)心”。

“她說(shuō)她無(wú)法再跳舞了,但結(jié)婚80年的感覺(jué)很好。她說(shuō)她現(xiàn)在還能喝點(diǎn)酒?!蔽槔f(shuō)。
