An African-American Christian couple in North Carolina is grabbing headlines around the globe as they mark 82 years of marriage and milestone birthdays.
D.W. Williams, 103, and Willie Williams, 100, have divulged details on their winning marital strategy—and you may just be shocked by how simple and straightforward it is.

The inspiring pair that met in Newberry, South Carolina, in 1935 and wed in 1937, have one daughter, Alice Erin, and one granddaughter, BJ Williams-Greene.
