In case you are feeling a little down - have a look at these World Record Holders - to cheer you up : )
LONGEST MARRIAGE: 86 YEARS
The world’s record for the longest marriage goes to Herbert and Zelmyra Fisher, who were married 86 years, 9 months, and 16 days as of February 27, 2011. Sadly, that is when Herbert passed away; he was 106 years old. The couple had five children.
SHORTEST MARRIAGE: 20 Minutes
The shortest Hollywood marriage on record was that between screen legend Rudolph Valentino and actress Jean Acker. Valentino and Acker married in 1919 but barely was the service over before the bride began to regret to have second thoughts and decided to lock her new husband out of their honeymoon suite. After knocking for 20 minutes Valentine simply went home. In divorce proceedings, Jean Acker claimed they never consummated their union, which is not surprising given that her famed husband failed to get past the bedroom door.
MOST MARRIAGES: 23 (and 22 Divorces!)
Linda Wolfe holds record for being the most married woman in the world. She was married 23 times. Her first marriage at 16 was for love. Her last, in 1996 was for publicity. That year she married preacher Glynn “Scotty” Wolfe. He was the world’s most married man. Linda married a convict, a homeless man, a musician, a plumber. One husband lasted just three days. She married another man three times.
OLDEST DIVORCE (98 years old H and W)
Oldest couple to divorce: Bertie and Jessie Wood hold the Guinness Book of World Records title for oldest couple to divorce. The couple ended their 36-year marriage when they were 98 years old, and just a few years away from their 100th birthdays. The reason for the split is not known.
