My wife and I have the perfect marriage because we came to an agreement before we got married. We agreed I would never try to run her life and that I would never try to run my life.
That reminds me of a joke our priest told at Mass one day. He said he had interviewed a husband and wife who were celebrating their 50th anniversary and asked what their secret was.
The wife said, “Well, before we got married, we agreed that he would make all the important decisions, and that I would make all the unimportant ones.”
The priest turned to the husband and asked if this was true. The husband said, “yes, but she hasn’t told me when there’s been an important decision to make!”
