Former President Jimmy Carter and former first lady Rosalynn Carter will
celebrate 75 years of marriage on July 7.
"It's a full partnership," the 39th president told The Associated Press
about the couple's marriage.
Carter served as President of the United States from 1977 to 1981.
On July 7, former President Jimmy Carter and former first lady Rosalynn
Carter will celebrate their 75th wedding anniversary, where they will
reflect on a remarkable life has taken them from rural Georgia and
locales across the globe as a Naval family to the Governor's Mansion and
ultimately the White House.
Despite the whirlwind of their nearly eight decade long marriage, some
things remain the same.
Former President Carter, 96, and the former first lady, 93, still live
in Plains, the small southwestern Georgia city where they were both
born. And they often give each other the kind of loving gaze that so
many spend years trying to find.
"It's a full partnership," the 39th president told The Associated Press
during a joint interview ahead of the couple's anniversary date.
When Carter was a young midshipman in the US Naval Academy, spending
some time at home from the venerable institution, a first date with
Rosalynn set the spark that blossomed into a lifetime of memories.
In his interview, Carter said that the most important decision that he's
ever made wasn't as the leader of the free world or even as the
executive officer of a nuclear submarine early in the Cold War — it was
his courtship of Eleanor Rosalynn Smith, which began in 1945 and led to
their marriage the next year.
"My biggest secret is to marry the right person if you want to have a
long-lasting marriage," the former president told The Associated Press.
