For several decades, Keith Limbert's wife drove him wherever he needed to go, and now, it's his turn to be the chauffeur.

Married for 58 years, Keith and Anne Limbert live in West Yorkshire, England, and although he took driving lessons when he was younger, Keith never ended up getting his license. Anne, who got her license in 1972, was happy to drive him around town, but when she suffered a stroke in 2015, she had to hang her car keys up. That's when Keith, 79, decided it was time to step up and take over the driving duties. "She has looked after me long enough and I think it's about time for me to look out for her now," he told the U.K.'s Metro. "I owe her."
