Now here's a couple who brings new meaning to the phrase "everlasting love." They are officially the world's oldest living couple from Austin, Texas!! Say congratulations to John and Charlotte Henderson who've been married for 80 years.

The two lovebirds met at The University of Texas back in 1934 and got married in 1939. Their love story has really stood the test of time and perhaps surprisingly enough or not, they still have that "thing" for each other family members say. They are officially documented as the world's oldest living couple in the Guinness World Records.

Both say they are still happy being around each other and recently celebrated their wedding anniversary with family and friends. John, who is 106 years old, picked up wife Charlotte - 105 years old -  in a 1920s roadster just like he did on their first date.

Wondering what the secret is to their blissful and long union? They both say living life in moderation and being cordial to one another.

Sounds like a simple recipe to me.
