The couple also stresses the importance of open communication and never letting problems fester. "We always talked it out," said Faye.
Laughter and companionship were also important to the pair, as well as sharing common interests.

"We never even talked about getting rid of each other, it was always the other way around. Sticking together," he said.
What a beautiful love these two share! And after so many decades together, Faye and Kenneth definitely know the ways to keep a marriage happy and healthy. God bless this wonderful couple!
