Japanese resident Masao Matsumoto and his wife Miyako are officially recognized as the owners of the longest marriage relationship in the world. Reported by Reuters.
The couple married in October 1937. At the moment, Matsumoto is 108 years old, and his wife is 100. The record was officially recorded, the Japanese received a certificate from the Guinness Book of Records.
I'm so glad. I think it's my patience,”Miyako concluded with a laugh.
The Matsumoto couple were never able to get married, as Masao was sent to the war as a soldier. Nevertheless, this detail did not prevent the couple from acquiring a large number of children and grandchildren. The youngest, 25th great-grandson was born last month.
Their daughter Hiromi assured them that it is a great honor for them to receive the certification.
The record for the longest marriage in human history belongs to the Norwegian couple Karl and Gurden Dolven. Their combined age was 210 years, 1 month, and 34 days. In 2004, Gourdin died.
