THE MARITAL SECRET
An Old Couple Has Lived Together For Over 60 Years Without Secrets, Until The Day Comes That One Of Them Had To Break The Promise.
What is a secret of a happy and long lasting marriage? The story you’re about to read is about a couple who had been happily married for over 60 years – where every life’s best moment is shared together and without a secret except for one thing. What we’re referring to as one thing is the shoe box the old lady had kept at the top of her closet. She even warned her husband not to open or ask about it.
The old man kept his promise until the day came that he had to break a promise. The old lady got very sick that her doctor told him she wouldn’t recover. And because of that sad circumstance, the old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife’s bedside. That time the old lady had left no words or argued about it. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $95,000.
He couldn’t believe what he just saw! He stammered, “Whhaa… wha… what in the world?”
“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 old man had to fight back the tears after hearing the moving words of his beloved wife. Until it crossed in his mind why only two precious dolls were in the box, he first thought that she had only been mad at him twice for over 60 years of living and loving – that made him almost burst with happiness.
“Honey,” he exclaimed, “that explains the dolls, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?”
“Oh,” she replied, “That’s the money I made from selling the dolls.”
