secret of a long marriage
Secret of a Long Marriage.
There
was once a man and woman who had been married for more than 60 years.
They had shared everything. They had talked about everything.
They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old
woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned
her husband never to open or ask her about it.
For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day
the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not
recover.
In trying to sort out their affairs the little old man took down the
shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed that it was
time that he should know what was in the box.
When he opened it, he found two crocheted doilies and a stack of money
totaling $25,000. He asked her about the contents.
"When we were to be married, "she said, "my grandmother told me that
the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if
I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a
doily."
The
little old man was so moved, he had to fight back tears.
Only two precious doilies were in the box. She had only been angry with
him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst
into tears.
He asked where did the money come from, "Oh," she said, "that's the
money made from selling the doilies."
A Prayer:
Dear Lord,
I pray for Wisdom to understand my man;
Love to forgive him; And Patience for his moods;
Because Lord if I pray for Strength
I'll beat him to death. Amen
