The Secret To A Happy Marriage

At Saint Mary's Catholic Church they have a weekly husband's marriage seminar. At the session last week, the Priest asked Luigi, who was approaching his 50th wedding anniversary, to take a few minutes and share some insight into how he had managed to stay married to the same woman all these years.
Luigi replied to the assembled husbands, "Well, I've a-tried to treat-a her nice, spend the money on her, but best of all is that I took-a her to Italy for the 20th anniversary!"
The Priest responded, "Luigi, you are an amazing inspiration to all the husbands here! Please tell us what you are planning for your wife for your 50th anniversary."
Luigi proudly replied , "I'm a-gonna go and bring her back ."
What is the secret to a happy marriage? This is a question that I get asked quite often and I always give the same reply…COMMUNICATION!
There have been times in my 37 years of marriage that either my husband or I have a problem that’s worrying us, and rather than let it simmer into something major, we talk about it and find ways of resolving it.
Let’s face it, no two people are the same and you’re each going to have different ideas or opinions, so it makes sense to discuss it. The lack of communication can lead to separation and divorce so don’t let unresolved issues break up your partnership.
