List Of Long Marriages
This is a list of long marriages. It includes marriages extending over at least 80 years. Background A study by Robert and Jeanette Lauer, reported in the ''Journal of Family Issues'', conducted on 40 sets of spouses married for at least 50 years, concluded that the long-term married couples received high scores on the Lock-Wallace marital satisfaction test and were closely aligned on how their marriages were doing.

Couples who have been married for a long time have a lower likelihood of divorcing because "common economic interests and friendship networks increase over time" and during stress can assist in sustaining the relationship. Another study found that people in long marriages are wedded to the idea of "marital permanency" in which "They don't see divorce as an option". Sociologist P ...
