Let's Celebrate: Couple in their 100s, 106-year-old husband and 105-year-old wife, Crowned World's Oldest Married Couple
By RoseKiss
Meet John and Charlotte Henderson, a remarkable couple from Austin, Texas who have recently been recognized by Guinness World Records as the world's oldest married couple at a combined age of 211 years old. Their upcoming milestone anniversary on December 15 marks an incredible 80 years of marriage.
Their love story began in 1934 when they first met in a college class at the University of Texas, and they tied the knot in December 1939. Interestingly, their honeymoon hotel room only cost them $7. Their enduring love and commitment to each other is truly inspiring and worth celebrating.

So what’s the secret to the couple’s record-breaking marriage and surpassing 100 years of life?
“Living in moderation,” John told USA Today in 2017. “We never overdo anything. Eat well. Sleep well. Don’t overdrink. Don’t overeat. And exercise regularly.”
In addition to being one part of the oldest married couple, John is also the oldest living former UT football player. And for the past 84 years the couple has attended at least one UT football game a season.

Charlotte Henderson shared, "We had such a good time when John retired. We traveled a lot. We just stay busy all the time, and I’m sure that helps." Currently residing in Longhorn Village, a senior living community for UT staff and alumni, the couple still enjoys staying active.
Let's offer our heartfelt congratulations to this amazing couple on their extraordinary achievement! May they continue to celebrate many more happy years of wedded bliss.
