a fascinating love for broccoli, I have a deplorable hatred for 
broccoli and the twain shall never meet on the same dinner table. 

When we were first married, I did not know this about her and broccoli.
But it wasn't long after we were married that I discovered this. Up to 
that point, I had never tasted broccoli, and I wasn't about to start 
tasting it then; with deep respect to my tongue. 

When we were married, she didn't know about my fascination with Apple
Fritters. I grew up in Pennsylvania Dutch country where Apple Fritters 
are king of the hill. We just love our Apple Fritters. 

The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage was happy when she was eating
broccoli and I was happy when I was eating Apple Fritters. These two 
things cannot be done on the same table, if you know what I mean. 

At that point, it all boiled down to one thing. Are we going to
determine what the other person likes? Or, will we accept them as long 
as it makes them happy? 

That's so critical that I don't know anything more important. 

If I can master this one thing, then there will be nothing but happiness
in our marriage. I don't demand that she like what I like, and she 
doesn't demand that I like what she likes. We just put up with certain 
things and don't make an issue of them. 

My secret is, if she passes before me, I'll make sure there is broccoli
in her casket that she can take with her. 

The key to marriage is agreement. I like what it says in Amos 3:3, “Can
two walk together, except they be agreed?” 

If you walk down a path going to in certain destination, although, you
both are going in the same direction but one can look to the left and 
the other to the right. It is the destination that is important.
