What's their secret to a happy, enduring marriage? It's simple, really...

A couple in California just celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary.

After seven decades, Ed, 93, and Florence ‘Toots’ Shevick, 91, still hold hands and end each day with a sweet kiss.

"We don't go to bed without kissing each other," Ed told ABC7.

1940s Chicago served as the backdrop for their budding romance.

What’s their time-tested secret to keeping the spark alive?
