Jimmy Carter married Rosalynn Smith on July 7, 1946. As first lady, she participated in political affairs to an extent unmatched by any of her predecessors; she and her husband both acknowledged her status as a full working partner by scheduling weekly business lunches together. She was also a strong mental health advocate during and after her time in the White House. She died in 2023.
