Yesterday I went to a wedding. I'd mentored Edward in the past although I'm sure I didn't teach him anything. His wife Noma is absolutely exquisite. However there's one thing I never told Edward during our mentoring sessions and that is the Secret to a Long and Happy Marriage. Since Edward and Noma are only a few hours into their lifelong journey, its only fitting that I share this gem of wisdom with them now.
An old man who'd been married for sixty years was asked, "How have you managed to stay happily married for so long?" The old man was a little deaf by then so they had to repeat the question and louder than before.
"Tell us, what is the secret to a long and happy marriage?".
The old man replied, "It's actually very simple. Very early on in our marriage we decided that I would take all the Major decisions and my wife would take all the Minor decisions." Seeing his listeners still didn't understand, the old man added, "You see, in sixty years of marriage, we've never had to make a Major decision."
