I received this by email and I have no idea who the author is - my wife thought it was too good not to share - I'm still wishing she would have seen this when we first got married -you'll see why when you read this post.
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 shoe box 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 $95,000.
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 dolls, 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."
Now for the 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 because I don't know how to crochet.
