The Guiness World Records oldest living married couple have just celebrated their 80th wedding anniversary, proving that true love never dies.

At 105 and 106 years old respectively, Charlotte and John Henderson from Austin, Texas are the oldest living couple on Earth. They met all the way back in 1934 at the University of Texas and it was love at first sight. John was seated behind Charlotte in class, and one day they started a conversation that sparked the flame.

“Charlotte looked over her shoulder and smiled and I knew I wanted to take her on a date,” John explained to TODAY. “She was anxious for me to ask her!”

They wed on December 15, 1939. So what is the secret to their successful marriage?

“Don’t indicate to your partner that you’re going to be the leader or you’re going to have it your way,” John told Fox 61. “You have to give and take as life goes by, and be grateful for what you have, and try to make tomorrow a better day than today, and be sure you don’t go to bed at night with a chip on your shoulder. Be aware of the other person’s feelings.”

“Some people say that’s the reason we’ve had such a long-married life, ’cause we didn’t have any kids to worry about,” John also joked.
