If Only All Marriages Could Be Like This…
The other day I stopped off at my parents’ house on the way to pick my son up from his friend’s house, and my mother asked me for a favor. They had recently had their carpets cleaned, and the furniture was put back a little out of place. My parents, who have been married for nearly 45 years, each have back problems and each have a comfortable, back-friendly reclining chair, which are placed side by side. My mother wanted me to put the reclining chairs back exactly where they had been previously carefully positioned.
Why?
Because my parents like to be able to hold hands when they watch TV together…

Hang onto them Glenn. But don’t shout out so loud. They are as rare as rocking chair wossname. Anthoplologists are competing as we speak for research grants to study them.

Maybe they should be teaching happy marriage courses. I suspect we could learn a lot from them… and would enjoy hearing their stories and experiences.

Yes, but in the “end of the day.” women = good / men = bad

That’s the message they are getting while they watching the television.
