Eleanor (107) and Lyle Gittens (108) have achieved a milestone so rare, so extraordinary, that it feels almost like a scene from a timeless romance: 83 years of marriage, now officially recognized as the longest union ever recorded 💍🏆❤️.

Their love story began in the early 1940s, when a simple meeting at a local basketball game changed their lives forever 🏀😊. Lyle was immediately captivated by Eleanor’s warm smile, and Eleanor later said she felt an instant sense of comfort with him — as if fate had quietly nudged their hearts together 💞✨.

They married on June 4, 1942, in the midst of World War II, at a time when the world felt uncertain and fragile 🌍💔. But their love became their anchor — a promise that no matter what storms came, they would face them side by side 🤝🌈.

Through the decades, they built a life filled with devotion and quiet strength. They raised three children, opened their home to neighbors, celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, heartbreaks, triumphs, and everyday moments that stitched their lives together like a warm family quilt 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🏡💛.

They witnessed history change — from black-and-white televisions to smartphones, from handwritten letters to video calls 📺📱✉️. Through every era, one thing remained unwavering:
They always chose each other.

When asked the secret behind their record-breaking marriage, Eleanor smiled and said the words that now echo around the world:
“We love each other.” ❤️

No complicated advice. No magic formula. Just pure, steady love — shown through patience, kindness, forgiveness, and holding hands long after the world expected them to let go 🌹🙏✨.

Verified by LongeviQuest and recorded in the Guinness World Records, their story is more than a record — it’s a testament to what love can become when two hearts stay true for a lifetime 🌟💖.

Eleanor and Lyle remind us that real love doesn’t fade — it deepens, it softens, and it endures.
A beautiful promise kept for 83 years… and counting 💛🌙.
