Secret to a Happy Marriage
A man and woman 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
shoebox in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to
open or ask her about.
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 dolls 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 doll."
The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back
tears. Only two precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him
two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with
happiness. "Honey," he said, "that explains the doll, but what
about all of this money? Where did it come from?"
"Oh," she said, "that's the money I made from selling the
dolls."
THat is so good!!!! had to share it with you all!!!
