Amy Lynn Carter, daughter of Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, read a love letter written by her father 75 years ago during Rosalynn's tribute service in Atlanta Nov. 28.

Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter were married 77 years—the longest of any presidential couple. Here’s how they met, fell in love, and built a life together.

Jimmy Carter—the 39th president of the United States, who died on Dec. 29 at 100—was laid to rest at the Georgia home he shared with wife Rosalynn Carter.

Jimmy Carter 's extended public farewell began Saturday in Georgia, with the 39th U.S. president’s flag-draped casket tracing his long arc from the Depression-era South and family farming business to the pinnacle of American political power and decades as a global humanitarian.

Sharing scripture connected the Carters—the longest-married presidential couple in U.S. history—even when they were miles apart.

While former president Jimmy Carter certainly left his mark on America as the 39th president of the United States, one of his biggest legacies transcends the work of his presidential administration: his 77-year marriage to Rosalynn Carter.
