This is my favourite quote: “How to react when conflict comes is so critical. A woman celebrated her 50th wedding anniversary with her husband. She was a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother, and on this special occasion, one of her grandchildren asked her the secret to her happy and enduring marriage. She smiled and said, “Well, sweetheart, when your granddaddy and I married, I made a list of ten things that I would overlook in his personality. Just ten things that I didn’t like, but was willing to forgive. I decided on that day that anytime one of those ten things would come up, I would overlook it for the sake of harmony in our marriage.” One of the other grandchildren said, “Granny, tell us the list. We want to know what was on the list.”
“Well, honey,” she said, “to be honest with you, I never really wrote them down. But every time your grandfather would do something that made me hopping mad, I would think to myself, ‘Lucky for him that’s one of the things on my list.”
