SCOTTSBORO, Ala. -- What's the secret to a long marriage?

Alonzo and Beulah Sims should know. They just celebrated their 80th wedding anniversary.

Mrs. Sims said the cotton-farming couple was just too busy to fight.

The Sims were teenagers when they married without their families' permission. Today, they live in a nursing home in Scottsboro.

They credit their long lives to hard farm work and eating lots of vegetables.

Alonzo Sims added that even after all these years, he still enjoys being with his bride.
