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."
Donna arrived home from work early one day and found her husband, Glen, in bed with another woman. "That’s it!" she shouted, "I’m leaving and I’m not coming back!"
"Wait honey," Glen pleaded, "Can’t you at least let me explain?"
