Marriage

I talked to the founder of Youth Launch last night and he shared with me the secret to a successful marriage.

A couple years into his marriage, things were not going well. He and his wife were fighting all the time and he didn't see how it would last another year.

They lived across the street from the couple who created the Curious George books. The husband did the art and the wife did the writing. The husband was a quiet easy going guy, while the wife could be very strong willed and difficult.

One day he mentioned that he and his wife were having a difficult time and asked the husband how he and his wife had been able to be happy for so long given his wife's strong personality.

To which the husband said, "I make the important decisions, and I let her make the rest...and over the last 40 years there haven't been any important decisions."
