Muslim Marriage Stories: How to stay happily married? Secrets of Happy Married Couples

A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They shared
everything. They talked about everything. They kept no secrets
fromeach other except that the little old woman had a shoebox in the
top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or
ask her about.
For all of these years, he never thought about the shoebox, but one
day thelittle old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would
not recover. Intrying to sort out their affairs, the little old man
took down the shoebox and took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed
that it was time that he should know what was inthe shoebox.
When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money
totaling $25,000. He asked her about the contents. "When we were to be
married," she said, "my grandmother told me the secret of a happy
marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with
you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll."
The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two
precious dolls were in the shoebox. She had only been angry with him
two times in all thoseyears of living and loving. He almost burst with
happiness "Honey," he said, "that explains the doll, but what about
all of this money? Where did it come from?" "Oh," the little old woman
said,"That's the money I madefrom selling the dolls."
