Mccun, KS- It's a sad fact, but the average marriage in the U.S. lasts only eight years, but one local couple has surpassed that average by several decades.

In our Brad's Beat report we're spotlighting a couple that has been married for 70 years.

Many things have  changed since 1940. A car cost about 800 dollars, a gallon of gas was 18 cents and a postage stamp was 3 cents.

But one thing that has been a constant is the love of Paul and Margaret Huff.
