Jimmy Carter recently turned 98. But now his little-known secret has come to light.

There is no love like the one Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter had for one another.

The marriage of Jimmy Carter, 98, and Rosalynn Carter, 95, is “the most significant thing in my life.”

Carter advised viewers of ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Monday to pick the proper partner first since there are only two factors that can guarantee a long and fulfilling marriage. As of right now, President Carter is the oldest American leader. And every evening, we make an effort to make up for all of our differences from the day before.

The Carters have been married for longer than George H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush as of 2019. In July 2022, they celebrated their 76th wedding anniversary.

Carter has discovered the value of spending time with his girlfriend and that it’s crucial to “give each other lots of freedom to do our own thing.” They frequently engage in activities like fly fishing, bird watching, and attending church. They read the Bible together every night before bed.

On July 4, Rosalynn Carter described the couple’s relationship as a “partnership” in an interview with the Associated Press. He didn’t know as much about the company as I did, Rosalynn added. I assured him he would heed my counsel.

The Carters’ confinement to their Plains, Georgia, house during the coronavirus outbreak aided in the gradual growth of their bond. During a guest appearance on “GMA,” the 39th president asserted that their 75-year marriage had enhanced their love for one another. “I thought that was a little unusual.
