Former president Jimmy Carter, the longest living president, has accomplished a lot in his 96 years, but his longest-running accomplishment is his marriage to former first lady Rosalynn Carter. The couple will celebrate their 75th anniversary on July 7, marking nearly eight decades of philanthropy, travel, family and love.
The Carters started dating in 1945 when Mr. Carter, then in the U.S. Naval Academy, needed a date when he was home. His younger sister set him up with a family friend, Eleanor Rosalynn Smith and Mr. Carter already had a crush on her.
Since that night, the Carters went on to become a Navy family, a farming family and then first family.
