Ted Cruz & Heidi Cruz – Married For 20 Years

After meeting for the first time at George W. Bush’s presidential campaign in 2001, Ted and Heidi Cruz went out on a date in a bar in Austin, Texas. Shortly after, they got married in a ceremony that included the song A Whole New World from the Disney movie Aladdin, because according to the senator, their union was like “a magic carpet ride.”

But just like many other marriages, the power couple has weathered some of the biggest relationship storms. They endured a long-distance relationship, and a breakdown from Heidi brought about by leaving her career in Washington DC to move to Texas.

Kamala Harris & Doug Emhoff – Married For 8 Years

Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff are sometimes referred to as the definition of modern marriage, as she breaks the stereotype of women choosing between family and career. They met on a blind date in 2013 and married the following year after finding out they had a flare for each other.

Emhoff, a lawyer, has ever since been a sentinel support and cheering husband to his wife while she went on to become a member of the U.S. Senate in 2017. Now she’s the first female Vice President, making the man himself the first-ever second gentleman.

Donald Trump, the former United States President, and first lady Melania Trump have been in a relationship since 1998. At that time, Melania was a rising star in the modeling world, and during one of the New York Fashion Week parties, something sparked. Eventually, after seven years, the couple were married.

Their relationship is actual proof that the age barrier doesn’t matter, as Donald is 23 years older than Melania. Though the duo had many ups and downs in their relationship, they have a strong foundation that has lasted for 16 years.

Hillary Clinton & Bill Clinton – Married For 46 Years

Many are aware of how Bill and Hillary Clinton have survived one of the most challenging marriage trials. But perhaps only a few know how their relationship started. It’s adorable, just imagining how the former president of the United States turned red after his cover of “faking a class registry” was blown.

Bill recounted that the first time he met Hillary at Yale, she wore no makeup, but she was oozing with strength and self-assurance that he was instantly attracted to her. They went for a walk to the art museum after, laughing and talking. It would take three marriage proposals later before Hillary would say yes.

Jimmy Carter & Rosalynn Carter – Married For 75 Years

Jimmy Carter saying that marrying Rosalynn Carter is the best thing he ever did in his life is enough proof of how great their love is. As soon as their first date was over, the former president told his mother that he had met his future wife.

The hometown sweethearts were neighbors in Plains, Georgia, and Rosalynn was the childhood friend of Jimmy’s younger sister. They supported each other’s endeavors, including the US presidency. The ex-first lady even broke tradition when she became her husband’s close advisor while he was in office.
