LONDON （AFP） - Lifetime lovers（終生伴侶）Frank and Anita Milford have become Britain's longest-married living couple after celebrating their 78th wedding anniversary（周年紀(jì)念）， newspapers reported.
The pair met as teenagers at a dance in Plymouth（英國，普利茅斯）， southern England， in 1926 and married two years later.
Asked for the secret of their enduring（持久的）union， Frank Milford， 98， a retired dock worker（碼頭工人）， was quoted in Wednesday's edition of the The Daily Telegraph as saying： "We don't always see eye to eye（意見一致）and we do have a small argument every day.
"But that comes and goes. We are always here for each other."
His 97-year-old wife added： "The key is give and take and lots of laughter."
With their relationship as strong as ever， the couple hope to beat the record for Britain's longest-ever marriage of 80 years， set by Percy and Florence Arrowsmith. Percy Arrowsmith died last year.
"There's every chance we could break that record，" Anita Milford said.
"These days marriages don't last long. A lot of people get married with the idea that if it doesn't work out there's no worry， but we can't understand that."
The world's longest marriage on record is 86 years， set by two couples —— cousins Sir Temulji Bhicaji Nariman and Lady Narima who lived in India and were married in 1853 and US couple Lazarus Rowe and Molly Webber， who tied the knot（結(jié)姻）in 1743， The Daily Telegraph said.
