The young midshipman needed a date one evening while he was home from the US Naval Academy, so his younger sister paired him with a family friend who already had a crush.Nearly eight decades later, Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter are still together in the same tiny town where they were born, grew up and had that first outing. In between, they've traveled the world as Naval officer and military spouse, American president and first lady, and finally as human rights and public health ambassadors.'It's a full partnership,' the 39th president told The Associated Press during a joint interview ahead of the couple's 75th wedding anniversary on July 7.

I've always disagreed with everything Jimmah did and does, but I certainly congratulate him and Rosalynn on such a milestone.

Each of them is more sentient than the current president.

He should have stuck to woodworking. The world would be a better place. As bad as Carter was, Richard Nixon did more long lasting damage than any President in the 20th Century, imo. You can thank Dick and Hank Kissinger for the Chi-Com beast to whom we pay tribute today. China didn't help bring about the demise of the Soviet "Evil Empire," it was President Ronald Reagan and his Star Wars initiative.

He has to be relieved there were two other Presidents worse than him to take the spotlight off his failures as a leader.

Jimmuh, while it was a shame that you had such a lousy presidency, highest regards for your upcoming 75th wedding anniversary. My wife and I have our 50th coming up, God willing in 2025, and compared to Rosalynn and you, we are just kids.

I have one remaining aunt and and uncle.
He is 98.
She is a mere lass of 97.
He is a retired Marine who fought in WW Two, Korea and Vietnam.
Retired as a Bird Colonel.
He earned the DFC.
They raised five kids...all of whom graduated from college.
They have been married for over 75 years.
He is my hero.

Being married for 75 years is a feat that few can match. The Carters worked together to leave a positive legacy in the world. Jimmy Carter is a much greater ex-president than he was president. He has certainly worked hard to be a positive influence in the world.

Of course, I don’t appreciate his unfortunate term as our President either but they deserve best wishes on a genuinely successful 75 years of marriage. I have always sensed these two share a true devotion to one another. God bless you both.

Jimmy Carter was the 3rd worst president in the history of this republic. Honestly, it was so terrible that I didn't think we could possibly ever have a worse president, but then along came Ovomit and biden. But he was still terrible!!!
For years, he was a really good ex-president, especially with his work with Habitat for Humanity. But then he decided to become a partisan political hack the last few years, and destroyed his post-presidency legacy in the process in my humble opinion!!! I'll leave it at that, since I have nothing good to say about him today.

My parents were much better people than the carters. Married 51 years on Earth and death has not separated them 23 years since. My Father flew B-24s in 1943-45 and worked like a dog in commercial aviation after that. Being a politician should not garner higher praise than the "Common" people.
Our Country is filled with superior people than the chaff that "lead" us. Sorry, I love better people.

Haven't they started to look alike? He was a terrible president but I think Biden is trying to beat his record.

You can wax nostalgic over the Carters if you want to. Have at it. A lot of us who remember them won't.

Amen, #15. Carter was the disaster responsible for: Chinese ownership of the Panama Canal, the Muriel Boat Lift, destabilization and psychotic leadership in Iran, 21% interest rates, lecturing Americans on our malaise and “inordinate fear of communism”, Cyrus Vance, Middle Eastern hostage taking, etc. Fuel prices went up so high that those of us who lived in cold climates were told to turn our thermostats to 62*F and 55 at night and school bussing was imposed. Since then, Carter has blown his mouth off overseas and undercut the U.S. and especially Republican presidents. BTW, given evidence of voter fraud in current elections in the U.S. where is he?
Over five years ago Carter was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I, for one, am waiting….

The very first thing he did after inauguration was pardon all the Vietnam draft dodgers living in Canada so they could come back to the states. After that, I never expected anything better from him and never got it. And I don’t care how long the old bustids been married, I despise him still.

Seriously, #10? Carter has spent his time since his disaster of a presidency being a nasty, bitter little man and a huge anti-Semite.

He is a good man. Tried to come in and set things right. Then the ESTABLISMENT DEMS took over and gave him almost ZERO support and took their marching orders from Tip O'Nell
Double digit inflation after Jerry Ford's failed WIN program to Whip Inflation Now campaign and things got worse.
We survive him and got the best President of my lifetime--Ronaldus Magnus. That was when the Dems were Dems and not outright Marxist-Socialists that we got under Nobama and Mumbles carrying on the work to destroy the American Way of Life through overburdening the economic system.
Mr. Trump's Administration was plagued by entrenched government employees where were wickedly working to undermine him through corrupt means. So were the RINOs who vote like demonrat socialists. Were it not for underhanded tampering with election laws in a few states and a Supreme Court abrogating it duty to hear a case where one State sues another, things would be much different now....
Former President Jimmy and his wife deserve our congratulations for their long marriage. He is no longer the worst President in my lifetime.
