HOW TO STAY MARRIED!

 

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 .

 

"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 . "

 


Women will love this . .

 

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 . And I don't know how to crochet . Amen!

Very good Eli, I hope my wife got the same advice, because if she has one of those boxes it will have a lot more than $95,000 in it......LOL
