The couple with the longest marriage in America

Dale and Alice Rockey are each 99 years old. They met as kids just after the turn of the last century, in the small town of Hemingford, Nebraska. As Lee Cowan reports, the group Worldwide Marriage Encounter crowned the Rockeys the Longest Married Couple of 2015, having been husband and wife for 81 years.

One of the purest things in the world to me is old married couples who look at each other the same way they did on their wedding day.

I feel bad for Dale. He was alone for 2 years after Alice died.

This is what “true love” really is. Some people just misuse it.
