On their 40th wedding anniversary and during the banquet celebrating
it, Tom was asked to give his friends a brief account of the benefits
of a marriage of such long duration.
"Tell us Tom, just what is it you have learned from all those
wonderful years with your wife?"
Tom responds, "Well, I've learned that marriage is the best teacher of
all. It teaches you loyalty, forbearance, meekness, self-restraint,
forgiveness --and a great many other qualities you wouldn't have
needed if you'd stayed single."
