“A friend asked, ‘What has kept you married for 42 years?’ The last 5 decades have gone by in the blink of any eye. I could see by the look in my husband’s eyes what his answer would be.”
‘My sister’s back in town, newly divorced. You should give her a call.’ I heard a knock. He looked up and smiled. I thought, ‘One day, I’ll marry this man.’ I didn’t tell him. Why ruin the moment?’
‘Marriage? It’s an ALL IN thing. It’s not a ‘I’ll be nice when he’s nice’ thing.’
“You didn’t vow ‘I promise to hold, from this day forward, as long as HE doesn’t make any mistakes on HIS end.'”
