The Secret of a Long Marriage

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with HotRentalsNY.com

At a synagogue in New York City, they have marriage seminars for the community.

Some are for women, some for their husbands and some they attend together. At the men's seminar, the rabbi asked Schlomo about his marriage. Schlomo replied that he had been married for almost 50 years. The rabbi was impressed and asked him to take a few minutes and share some insight into how he had managed to stay married to the same woman all these years.

Schlomo replied to the assembled husbands, "Now, I've tried to treat her nice, spend money on her, let her keep a Kosher home, take her on trips and never look at other women.  Best of all, I took her to Israel for our 25th anniversary!"

The rabbi responded, "Schlomo, you are an amazing inspiration to all the husbands here!. Please tell us what you are planning for your wife for your 50th anniversary?"

Schlomo proudly replied, "I'm going back to Israel to pick her up."

Faina, that is a good one. We are going on 18 years and maybe for the 20th I will bring my wife on a trip as well.

HILARIOUS!!!!!!

I am definitely sending this to my wife! We've been married for 23 years now and the secret to our success is this...

Patience, mutual respect, and the fact that G-D has us loosing our hearing and sight as we get older for a reason.

Thanks for sharing!
