The couple said they've spent a long time together and their successful marriage is all thanks to their church. 

"We've stayed together because we've prayed together," Mrs. Long told FOX 5. "We pray together every day, and I think that's part of the secret." 

Mr. and Mrs. Long have three children, four grandchildren and give great-grandchildren. 

The Longs have both lived their entire lives in the south Atlanta area.
