I know this is probably old news to a lot of you, but I just wanted to share.

Herbert and Zelmyra Fisher have been married for a whopping 85 years!! And on their wedding anniversary, May 13, they will have one of the longest marriages on record.

On Valentine's Day of this year, they tweeted some of their secrets to a long, happy marriage. A couple of secrets?

• Remember marriage is not a contest- never keep a score. God has put the two of you together on the same team to win.


• Respect, support and communicate with each other. Be faithful, honest and true. Love each other with ALL of your heart.

You can see the rest of their tweets here.

Yay for [long-lasting] black love!! ♥ ♥
