On their 50th 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, meekness,
forbearance, self-restraint, forgiveness -- and a great many
other qualities you wouldn't have needed if you'd stayed
single."
