Are These Couples From 'The Newlywed Game' Still Together?

“The Newlywed Game” was a classic TV game show where newlyweds would compete with each other for grand prizes. Sharon and Garvin Kotzin appeared on the show in 1977. Their simple secret to a successful, long marriage is to have fun together. Jeri and Mike Wirtz also appeared on the show in 1977 as well. After 46 years of marriage, Inside Edition’s Jim Moret put them to the test to see how well they know each other.

This show was genuine. 46 years of marriage takes dedication

They need a anniversary game for those married 25 years or more. 😂

I work for a couple who’ve been married for 74 years. 74 years! That’s incredible.

My sweet husband passed away in February 2020. We met at a Christmas party in 1969 and we got married in June 1970. I walked in the door at the party and he was the first person I saw. There truly is love at first sight because I definitely fell in love with him that night. We would’ve been married 50 years in June 2020 but he went to Heaven before we made it. But we were together 50 years counting the 6 months before we got married. I miss him so very much! When you’ve been with someone for that long it feels like half of you is gone.

This was fun to relive…we were on the show that aired in March of 1968…my husband had shipped to Vietnam by then and was never able to view the program…I have tried to get a copy for him at our 50th anniversary…but sadly I never found the right people to connect with..we will celebrate our 57th anniversary this August…lots of great memories and family times. Oh and we won!!!!

My wife and I were on twice. Once for a reunion show. I think we were on in ‘73. Still married. It will be 53 years this December.

While we have never been on a television show, my wife and I have been married 42 years. Kids, mortgages, minivan, vacations, baseball games, PTA, births and deaths : we’re still here. Takes dedication, understanding, having a strong faith, looking for the best in one another, being their support and loving no matter what.
I said “ I do “….not “ I think so “. …or “ till you age or don’t look like you’re 25 any longer.” She didn’t say “until you lose your waistline and hair.” She said “I do “.

My Mom and Dad were married over 70 years and they still held hands. My Dad would say, "isn't she pretty?"

Young love is sweet, but a long, happy marriage is a treasure.

Jeri and Mike has a YouTube channel that's very entertaining. Especially with Jeri cooking some of her favorite foods.

[MR-jdyo]

cool to see them old but still with their same spark of what they once were

[akiru]

Loved this recap. It's nice to see older couples making it

"We laugh together". That's it right there folks. My wife and I have been married for 38 years (together 43) and we laugh every day. If I have to run to Home Depot, my wife jumps in and we get a coffee for the trip and sing songs on the radio together. Other than the gray and being parents and grandparents now- we're still the same couple as we were in the summer of 1979.

I'm 70 and my parents have been married 73 years. That's dedication.

Watching the clips from the show takes me back to the 70s. I can hear “We’ve Only Just Begun” playing in my head.

[philelmo]

She’s still upset about it after 50yrs lol😂

[emilybyers]

You have to love the 70's nostalgic. My adorable parents will be married for 50 years this May.

[andraclark]

That's when people really loved and cared about each other and was willing to go the extra mile to make their marriage work. 😊❤❤❤

Now as an adult I understand what "whoopie" is. 😳😁
