A fact backed up by the world&#8217;s oldest married couple who have been married 80 years \u00a0and say that &#8220;c<span>ompromise, living within your means and letting your wife be boss&#8221; is what makes for a happy pairing.<\/span>\n\nI will be of course passing that message on to my husband.
