A golden anniversary party was thrown for an elderly couple. The husband was moved by the occasion and wanted to tell his wife just how he felt about her. She was very hard of hearing, however, and often misunderstood what he said. With many family members and friends gathered around, he toasted her: “My dear wife, after fifty years I’ve found you tried and true!”
Everyone smiled their approval, but his wife asked, “What did you say?”
He repeated louder, “AFTER FIFTY YEARS I’VE FOUND YOU TRIED AND TRUE!”
His wife shot back, “Well, let me tell you something—after fifty years I’m tired of you, too!”
“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.”—Ephesians 5:25
