They have been married for 25 years and have done something amazing: they have never fought, not even once. When a friend asked the husband what the secret was to their happy marriage, he told a funny and surprising story from their trip.
These two people went horseback riding on their vacation at a ranch. The wife’s horse jumped out of the blue, and she fell off. Then she stood up, patted the horse, and said, “This is your first time.” Again, when it happened, she said, “This is your second time.” But when it happened a third time, she pulled out a gun out of the blue and shot the horse.
He was shocked and yelled at his wife, “Are you crazy?!?” “You killed the horse!” With an in-the-know look, she told him, “This is your first time.” This smart answer not only eased the stress, but it also showed how funny and patient the wife was.
This silly story gives us a look into the couple’s relationship and shows how they can laugh and find humour in strange situations. Their ability to laugh at and forgive each other probably helps explain why they never fight in their marriage.
