Julio Cesar Mora Tapia and Waldramina Maclovia Quinteros Reyes have entered into the Guinness World Records as the longest-lived married couple in the world. Both opened the doors of their home in Quito on Friday, so the media could see first-hand their secret for staying married 79 years.
"Really, sometime they would have an argument, which is normal in a marriage, but never in front of us, they always did it in their room and they solved the problem right away," said Marcia Mora, their daughter.
Julio, 110 years old, and Waldramira, 104, married on February 7th, 1941, and dedicated their lives to teaching. Today they have five children, 11 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren and 9 great-great-grandchildren.

After 7 years of friendship, they got married on February 7, 1941. It was an intimate and secret ceremony with their godparents and close friends because their families didn’t approve of the marriage.
Mora and Quinteros said their relatives didn’t get along at first, but they were able to bring them together over the years.
“Family unity under the rules of love, mutual respect, honest work, and proper education based on family values are the keys to healthy coexistence,” the couple said in the statement.
