Thanks for all the warm wishes. We've actually been married 51 years. But only 9 to each other!

Along that vein:

With a couple celebrating their 50th anniversary at the church's marriage
marathon, the minister asked Brother Ralph to take a few minutes and
share some insight into how he managed to live with the same woman all these years.

The husband replied to the audience, "Well, I treated her with respect, spent money on her, but mostly I took her traveling on special
occasions."

The minister inquired trips to where?

"For our 25th anniversary, I took her to Beijing , China ."

The minister then said, "What a terrific example you are to all husbands, Ralph. Please tell the audience what you're going to do for your wife on
your 50th anniversary?"

Brother Ralph: "I 'm going to go get her."
