the British Chinese Business Daily quoted the daily mail, a British couple celebrated two recently A 77 year old marriage is also the oldest couple in Britain.
94 years old Phyllis Loftus (Phyllis Loftus) and 100 year old husband George (George) are from cannon, who have been promoted to great grandparents. The two met in the 30s of last century and signed up for marriage in walsar in August 10, 1940. At that time, loveltes was only 17 years old. Later, Ray, the son of two, was born and now ray is 73 years old. Two people have 2 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. Their marriage went through 17 British prime ministers, and loveltes recently revealed to the outside world the secret of a long life marriage: "eat good meals and chat often."
loveltes said: "my mother gave me these suggestions 75 years ago, and we must obey them. When shopping, you see what you want to buy, first look at whether the money in your wallet is affordable and whether it really needs. If neither of the two is, do not buy it. Always let your husband eat a good meal. We eat a delicious hot meal every night and chat for a while. George likes to have a baked hot meal on Sunday noon. We often eat fish or shepherd pie in a week. This is how we spend every day of our marriage, which makes our relationship stronger. We often talk and discuss together. My most important advice for marriage is not to stay angry.
two old people started dating before the outbreak of World War II, when loveltes was a nurse at Bermingham's children's Hospital and George was a train driver. One day, when she was on vacation, she passed the train through walsar. Loftus's brother and George were workmates, so he and George waved to her along the roof of the train when Rove's train passed, which was a surprise to loveltes. On the second day, George was invited to tea by lovelis, and a romance began.
recalled his first date, loveltes said, "I walked with him near walsar, and I was wearing high heels. He bought me a box of chocolates at the end of the day. Two years after the first date, the couple registered at the registry to get married, and then held a little wedding in a cafe. George's salary of three pounds, two shillings and six pence was not enough for their honeymoon. Loveltes added: "although wages are few, we two do not smoke or drink. At that time, during the war period, there was no ration to ration the wedding photo.
in the more than 70 years of marriage, George's work includes firefighters, miners and metal workers until he retired at the age of 64 in 1981. At the same time, loftes was a bus conductor and became a member of the cannox Regional Council in 1950s. In 1963, she became a sheriff and retired at the age of 70. She served as a district judge for 30 years.
although lofty in the workplace, loveltes will always take care of his dear husband in the first place. "I used to be a housewife," she said. "I've never worked as a local judge and a member of the Council for money, because the parliamentary parties are always in the evening, that is, I don't lose any salary. I always cook. We didn't prepare any fast food at home, and all the food was cooked by me. When guests come, we always sit on both sides of the table to calculate expenses.
"we have no room, no car, no alcohol or no smoking, because we buy everything we can afford." We don't have any savings. " "I always say that food on the table is the most important thing," she said. The heart of a man must first conquer his stomach. If you come to my house, you have to laugh. Although we have no room and no car, we regard each other as the most valuable asset. Our families care for each other and share each other, and everyone loves George. "
