Prescription for Long-Term Marriage

When a couple was celebrating their 25th anniversary at the church
Marriage Marathon, the minister asked Charlie to take a few minutes
and share some insight into how he managed to live with the same
woman all these years.

Charlie told the audience, "Well, I treated her with respect, spent money on
her, but mostly I took her traveling on special occasions."

The minister inquired, "Praise God. That's wonderful and a great example to all young husbands. Charlie, Can you give us an example?"

"Well, for our 20th anniversary, I took her to Beijing, China."

The minister said, "What a terrific example you are to all husbands,
Charlie. Please tell the audience what you're going to do for your wife
on this your 25th anniversary?"

Charlie replied, "I'm going to go back and get her."
