Marriage formula that works
10 Answers
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."
