Secret to Success

My parents recently celebrated their 29th wedding anniversary. In a society where the divorce rate is over fifty percent, I'd say that is pretty sensational. I asked my mom about why she thought that her marriage is still going strong while so many others fall apart. She told me this:

"I think it is because so many people don't understand that when you are married - it is never all about you."

Not being married I can't say that I know that this is true, but it seems to make pretty good sense to me.

Kudos to your parents. And your mama is very wise. I always thought so.

My parents are coming up on 25 - I'm proud of them. :-)
