Through the entirety of their decades-long marriage, the couple claim they have never quarreled. Not even once.
Quarreling might be in the eye of the beholder, but the fact that this is how they describe their marriage is telling.
The secret to their lasting love, they said, is two things they agreed to early on: They always share a kiss before bedtime, and whenever a disagreement arises, they take a timeout from each other before talking it through.
“It works like a charm,” said Hubert, who is joining his wife as a centenarian later this month. June turned 100 on July 13, and Hubert’s birthday is July 23.
The pair live in Hamilton, Ohio – where they met at a church in September 1941, when they were 19. At the time, Hubert worked at a manufacturing company for 35 cents an hour, and June was working at an ice cream parlor earning 10 cents an hour.
After 79 years of marriage, couple share their secrets of lasting love
And pray together every day.
