Take a break from the insanity to celebrate this Pennsylvania couple that's been married for 80 years 🤯
· Jan 5, 2023 · NottheBee.com

Robert and Edith Mae Schaum went on their first date when they were in high school back in 1936 and got married in 1942 at the age of 22.

Eighty years later, they're still together.

Neither of them looks a day older than 80.

Serious question: Do people stop aging after 80?

Edith Mae told WGAL8 of their marriage,

We hold each other up.

Robert added,

I guess the secret would be don't go to bed mad.

That's a lot of nights they've spent following that rule.

29,219 to be exact.

In just 6 more years at age 108, they'll be able to break the record for the world's longest-lasting marriage, set by Elmyra and Herbert Fisher in 2011.

And in just 80 more years, I'll be 108 and I can break the Schaums' record.

Assuming my husband makes it to 110.
