Let that sink in. These two were married to each other ... from 1945. 1945! Until TODAY!! When they were married, none of the four Presidents who were elected after him - Clinton, Bush, Obama and Trump - were even BORN yet!!

When George and Barbara Bush were married, ROOSEVELT was President of the United States!! Their marriage lasted through 14 different Presidents!!

Still blown away thinking about this fact: We’ve had 45 Presidents in the whole history of the US. And George and Barbara Bush have been married has spanned 14 of them. Amazing.

Quite the accomplishment.

Yes, rich people saying married is QUITE the "accomplishment."

How many people have you heard of who celebrated their 73rd wedding anniversary, regardless of their income level? 50th? Shucks, 25th. Not many. Which is why it’s an accomplishment.

My parents. 71 yrs of marriage truncated by my father’s passing last August. He and George Bush were classmates at Yale. Both lived in Houston at the ends of their lives. It was a different generation in so many ways!

That’s so awesome! My condolences to your family. But they left you guys a wonderful legacy.

Her character can only ever be admired, even by those who may have disagreed with her politics. RIP Barbara Bush, an American icon. Though saddened at her passing, America should be consoled that she faced it on her own terms, and with the presence and support of her family.

Rest in peace Barbara Bush. I can be bipartisan at times like this.
