Congratulations, Don, to both of you! May you share many more!
My wife and I were married in January, 1964. Every now and then, someone will ask me how long we’ve been married. My typical reply: “I’m proud to say we’ve had 32 happy years together.”
The usual response: “Gosh – that’s great.”
To which I reply, “Yup. 32 happy years out of 45 ain’t all that bad!”
Once, someone actually asked me “What’s the secret to your long marriage?”
My reply: “Just memorize a few key words, and be sure to repeat them to her at least once a month:
Yes, dear. You’re right, I’m wrong. It’ll never happen again.”
