白頭偕老, I see a lot while watching Chinese/Taiwanese dramas. What is the translation for the phrase? What is the translation for each of the characters?

白, the color: white. (In English they say "grey hair" sometimes to describe the color of old men's hair. )
頭, head, hair here.
偕, together
老, old, to get old.
See, a wide-abused romantic promise.
