Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, renowned for his humility, resides in a modest $200,000 house in Georgia, according to Zillow. Despite being a powerful figure during his presidency, Carter refrained from exploiting his fame. Since leaving the White House, he and his wife have celebrated an upcoming 75th wedding anniversary, marking the longest-married presidential couple.
Carter’s humility extends to everyday life, as he shops at the local Dollar General. Beyond his personal lifestyle, Carter’s global impact is seen through the renovation of over 4,300 houses in 14 countries.
The key to their enduring 75-year marriage, according to the couple, lies in simple principles. They prioritize closeness, avoid bedtime conflicts, share hobbies, appreciate life’s simpler joys, respect each other’s space, and actively seek shared activities. In Carter’s words, “I have been very happy.” As they approach this milestone, we extend our heartfelt wishes for a joyous anniversary to the exemplary couple.
