I found this on another message board and since my folks are comming up on their 61st anniversary well I thought I would share it here and print it for them.
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 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."
Lol! I once knew a couple where the husband was gone on the road sometime 4 or 5 weeks at a time.. I asked how they managed to stay married because of that.. the wife replied.. "that is HOW we stay married.. if he was home all the time, we'd have divorced years ago!"

I use to say my perfect man would be a truck driver who was on the road more than he was home... In all reality I'd probably pass on a truck driver. TOO many lot lizards for me to be comfortable in a relationship with somoene who has more access to them than to me. YES, I know it is about trusting HIM, but I have never trusted a "HIM" that much as it is, so why put myself at risk. No thanks.
