We are headed in the same direction although, sometimes I’m looking out the right window and she’s looking out her left window. The destination is what really matters. And that we totally agree on. | |||
Click here to read the first 75 lines of the story “What?” she said, “You think you can wear one of my dresses?” Throughout the years of our marital bliss, I have often dug a hole so deep that I could not get out, yet I still kept digging. I thought I was just joking, but she did not think it was a joke. Looking at her, I laughed and said, “Oh, my dear, I was just joking.” I thought I had gotten out of that hole, but was wrong. “So,” she said sarcastically, “you think my dresses are jokes.” It was at this level that I realized this wasn't very funny. I may be crazy, but this was not the time to be crazy. If only I could learn how to control being crazy. I have tried through the years to work on my crazyitis, but I don't think I have worked hard enough because I have not seen any improvement on my side of the kitchen table. My problem is that I don't hear very well. Actually, I do hear; I just am not listening. And boy, is there a difference there. Our 53-year marital journey has been great. I credit that success to one of my favorite verses in the Bible. Amos 3:3, “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” Throughout our journey we have agreed on more things than we disagree. In fact, the longer we live together the less we seem to disagree. That's unity. We are headed in the same direction although, sometimes I'm looking out the right window and she's looking out her left window. The destination is what really matters. And that we totally agree on.
