Wow - 33 years of marriage
When Mary Tyler Moore married Richard Levine, much was made of the age difference (no doubt because it was the woman that was older) but they confounded critics by staying married until her death. There were reports the last few years that Mary was giving Richard a hard time as he tried to take care of her but you have to remember that she was suffering at least partial blindness and dementia. He wanted her to have full time nurse aide help but she objected to a "stranger" in the house and wanted him to take care of her. The majority of men do not serve well as nurse aides (even though he was a doctor) and it is a tremendous amount of work taking care of someone in that condition so I tend to side with him but I think it is to both their credit that they stuck out the marriage when over half the people these days divorce.
