On their 40th wedding anniversary and during the banquet celebrating it, Tom was asked to give his friends a brief account of the benefits of a marriage of such long duration."Tell us Tom, just what is it you have learned from all those wonderful years with your wife?"
Tom responds, "Well, I've learned that marriage is the best teacher of all. It teaches you loyalty, forbearance, meekness, self-restraint, forgiveness --and a great many other qualities you wouldn't have needed if you'd stayed single."

I have now lived long enough to be of the opinion that creating and designing men and women to be mates is proof that God does indeed have a wicked sense of humor.

Yup! Count me in on that. Hugs from chilly rainy PNW.
Funny, but I don't think I'll share it with my wife of forty years.
And never forget those special three little words. They're what has kept my marriage going for 38 years. Oh those three little words ... "I was wrong".
Barb sure does have it right. I totally agree with her. Good one. Thanks for the smile.
good one!
hahahhahaha..tat's quite a lot to learn... unconditionally :)
Marriage is never ending compromise and a feeling of satisfaction at end of the day.
Bless his little heart. Good one, especially Barb's comment. So true!
Big hugs, honey...
That's a good one and Barb's comment is great too
Interesting information also for those who are single!:) I hope your day has been going well Sandee.
At least he learned something in 40 years!
Oh so true, Tom! And Barb hit the nail right on the head, too!
I hope me and my wife made it for 40 years.
