    A couple only last November successfully recorded the world's longest marriage with Guinness after marking 85 years of matrimony.

    Liu Yung-yang, 103, and his wife Yang Wan, 102, from Taoyuan, northern Taiwan, married in April 1917.

    I found this information at www.smh.com.au
    under Specials > Unusual Tales > Article "Couple claim 'world's longest marriage."

    On a different note, however if you believe in the Bible, I'm pretty sure you will find some marriages lasted more than a century.

    Not sure what qualifies this couple as "World's Longest Married" since another answer stated the the GBWR has a couple listed who have been married longer, but . . . .

    Just adding to other answers, this is interesting and sad:

    World's Longest Marriage Cut Short
    Man Married for 80 Years Dies at 105

    AP
    On their 80th anniversary earlier this month, the Arrowsmiths said the key to marital bliss is to not go to bed angry at each other.

    LONDON (June 15) - Percy Arrowsmith, who with his wife set the record two weeks ago for the world's longest marriage, died Wednesday, his wife of 80 years by his side. He was 105.

    Arrowsmith died at his home in Hereford, northwest of London, his bishop said.

    Arrowsmith and his 100-year-old wife, Florence, celebrated their 80th wedding anniversary and a place in the Guinness Book of World Records on June 1.

    "Percy and Flo were very happy when I saw them on their anniversary," said the Rev. Anthony Priddis, bishop of Hereford. "They were still very much in love with each other."

    Earlier this month, Guinness World Records recognized the pair as holding records for the longest marriage for a living couple and the oldest aggregate age of a married couple.

    The Arrowsmiths, who have three children, six grandchildren and nine great grandchildren, claimed the key to their long marriage was not to go to sleep on an argument.

    "We will all be praying for Flo and the family in their grief," Priddis said.

    in muslim comunities most of marriages have long live last which means how old they are ,they 'll stay for the same period.most people get married in early agebetween(17and25)so the length of marriage depends on how long they live.
