A couple from Brazil has set a new world record for the longest marriage among living couples.

Manoel Angelim Dino, 105, and Maria de Sousa Dino, 101, have been married for an incredible 84 years and 77 days, as confirmed by Guinness World Records on Valentine’s Day. The two met in 1936 and were married in a small chapel in Ceará, Brazil, in 1940.

Over the years, the Dinos built a large family, raising 13 children. Today, they have 55 grandchildren, 54 great-grandchildren, and 12 great-great-grandchildren.

Although their marriage is the longest for any living couple, the record for the longest marriage ever belongs to David Jacob Hiller and Sarah Davy Hiller, who were married for 88 years and 349 days in Canada. The Dinos are now just a few years away from breaking that all-time record!
