Ecuadorian Spouses Become the World’s Oldest Married Couple!

A husband and wife in Ecuador are officially the oldest married couple in the world. He’s 110 years old and she’s 104!  The now retired teachers were married on February 7, 1941. It was a secret ceremony because neither of their families approved of the marriage. But it worked out! They are the parents of five children, and they have 11 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren and nine great-great-grandchildren. The two enjoy going to the movies and to plays together.
