- It’s a love story nearly eight decades in the making. Jimmy Carter said many times that his favorite title wasn’t president of the United States. It was husband to Rosalynn.
With persistence, patience and passion these two built an unbreakable bond.
Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter began laying the foundation for their journey together in Plains, Georgia.
A small farming town where they were born and raised on the same street.
“I want to be remembered as a good husband for Rosalynn." Jimmy said.
They started dating in 1945 when Mr. Carter then a midshipman at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD needed a date when he was home.
His younger sister, Ruth, set him up with a friend 18-year old Eleanor Rosalynn Smith --- whom Mr. Carter was already eyeing.
Coincidentally, Mrs. Carter also had a secret crush on 21-year old Carter after noticing his photos, in military uniform, at the Carter family home.
Following their first date Mr. Carter told his mother he met his future wife.
He was right. They married shortly after his graduation in 1946 and after Rosalynn turned down his earlier proposals twice.
The couple celebrated their 77th wedding anniversary over the summer.
"When I was growing up, high school, college, I didn't think I would ever get married. I didn't like boys, it was boys back then because it was that period. But I didn't know how to talk to them, I didn't want to go out with them." Rosalynn said. “And then along came Jimmy Carter and my life's been an adventure ever since. Thank you, I love you."
That adventure includes four children the Georgia governor's mansion and the campaign trail for president.
President Carter called Mrs. Carter his secret weapon.
In the White House, the two worked together focused on human rights, global peace efforts and mental health awareness.
"The most exciting memory and one of my favorites on Inauguration Day, was walking along Pennsylvania Avenue with my family." Jimmy said.
The former president says -of his four years in the White House - the best part was bonding with his loved ones.
"We had a good family life in the White House.” Jimmy said.
Carter lost his bid for re-election in 1980. That devastated the couple, so, they returned to a place where they could find peace Plains, Georgia.
With the framework of their lives securely fastened the Carters grew closer bonding in service.
They constructed hundreds of homes and the Carter Center - a human rights nonprofit - working tirelessly, even through Mr. Carter's cancer diagnosis.
"What's going to be next? Well, one thing I know, it's going to be something because Jimmy Carter's miserable if he's not doing something." Rosalynn said.
Mr. Carter described their marriage as a full partnership a lasting legacy of love, they built together.
One for the history books.
Hometown sweethearts "turned, the longest married presidential couple.”
"To my wife Rosalynn, I want to express a particular gratitude for being the right woman that I chose for my wife." Jimmy said.

RIP 💔
RIP 🙏🏻
May her soul rest in peace 🙏🏾🙏My condolences to the former president and his family and to all the people that loved her 😢🙏🙏🏾🌏
I remember when people went nuts because she wore the same gown to Jimmy's inauguration as she wore when he was sworn in as governor. Ever a frugal person, she especially didn't want to display decadence during such hard economic times. She should have been praised for being mindfully frugal instead of decadent. The reaction was a disgusting display of America's sense of entitlement and worship of the decadent wealthy.
She and Jimmy were deliberately misunderstood. As a team and individually they set the example as good and true Christians and thoroughly decent people. The conservative Christians never forgave them for it. As a non Christian and flaming liberal, I'll remember, for all the fallen Christians will surely fail to, how Roslyn and Jimmy always followed Christ.
Then came Nancy with her exclusive designer gowns and those stupid, wasteful White House plates. And the "followers of Jesus" rejoiced. Ain't that America...The US and the world would be lucky if we ever are blessed with leaders such as the Carters ever again.
Peace to her soul!
God's anointed . Well done my
Good and faithful servant.
RIP
Compare that to the couple that the evangelical Christian Right consider the best, most moral Christians ever, and want back in the White House in 2024.
RIP, dear Roselynn. You were the best of us.
A TRUE LOVE STORY FOR ALL AGES. And GENUINE CHRISTIANS.
