You know that awwwdorable loving couple, who’ve been married for 44 years, in those Swiffer commercials, well Morty and Lee Kaufman were featured on Today with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb yesterday and we got to know more about them. If you thought the 90 year groom and his 91 year old bride were precious in those ads, they are even more amazing in the interview. The former-teacher and her husband were not looking for fame, but they found it when a casting director friend of his daughter asked her if she knew any couples over 70 that might be interested in doing the ads. Well she did and you know what happens next.
Thankfully that casting director asked his daughter because they are the perfect couple to be in those advertisements. Something that was solidified when Hoda asked them what is the secret to their long marriage, and Morty simply responded by saying “You gotta love each other. You got to let each other know that their being loved.” Then he added, “I don’t go to bed, at night, without saying ‘Lee, I love you,’ and she doesn’t go to bed without saying ‘I love you too.'” That response is the most perfect way I have ever heard love expressed and I am not sweeping his sentiments under the rug. Even with a Swiffer!
BTW can you believe that they are in their 90’s because they seem so much younger in every aspect of it all?
