Married for 60 years

没心没肺

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.
  N! t/ `" B# JIn trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside.

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.

'Oh,' she said, 'that's the money I made from selling the dolls.'

Very touching story. Really a woman who knows what is love and how to love. Suggest he has a tour giving speech to wake many people, man and woman, and hopefully this world would a more lovely world, fewer heart-broken hearts.

Um... Seems happy marriage is very hard to earn. Both have to work on it. But the reward worth it.
