An Incredible Love Story Against All Odds

“Marriage is a cultural universal, an institution so fundamental to the human experience that there are no known examples of a society that functions without it,” according to the World Population Review. “People marry for many reasons, including love, companionship, the desire to build a family, financial stability, social status, and religious fulfillment, and in nearly every case, the marriage is considered a watershed event in the participants’ lives.”

However, exchanging vows does not guarantee that a sacred union will last a lifetime. Infidelity, lack of commitment, domestic abuse, substance abuse, financial problems, moral or religious differences, and loss of intimacy often cause couples to divorce.

In the United States alone, where 4-5 million people get married every year, it is estimated that 42-53% of these marriages end up in painful divorce. What is more, these statistics come from a country that ranks 13th in the world’s list of countries with the highest divorce rates.

China is, in fact, in a worse situation than the US, ranking 7th when it comes to marriage disintegration. On top of the global list is the Maldives, with a 5.52 divorce rate per 1,000 people per year.

Love Is A Choice, This Elderly Couple Clearly Shows

Yes, it is not surprising that many find this couple’s wedding video first posted on Instagram incredibly touching. How such a marriage could survive for so long, and how such love could exist in its pure sweetness after nine decades, is a remarkable thing to contemplate.

“Sweetest thing ever,” another remarked.

“This is the best damn thing I’ve ever seen!!!” Another commenter said.
