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 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 then asked where the money came from, "Oh," she said, "that's the money
I made from selling the doilies." |
