In 1935, a young couple — Ralph then 18, and Dorothy Kohler, then 17 — married in Tekamah, Nebraska. Even though they were initially denied a marriage license due to their young ages, they were determined to marry and eventually found one. Their determination paid off and this month the couple celebrated an incredible 86 years together.
In an interview with Kake.com, Ralph gave some insight into how he and his wife have managed to not only grow old together, but to grow in love for one another. He put it down to “togetherness.”
