Woman of the week – Zelmyra Fisher

By

Zelmyra Fisher is married to Herbert Fisher, and they are the world’s longest married couple.  Ready for this?  They’ve been married for EIGHTY- FIVE YEARS.   Read their story here (notice they’ve gone to different churches their entire life; has to be a lesson about compromise and acceptance in there somewhere): http://bulletin.aarp.org/yourworld/family/articles/couple_maintains_world_record_for_longest_marriage.html

(I can’t let a post about long marriages go by without mentioning that my parents celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary this past November, the same month that my grandparents celebrated their SEVENTIETH!)
