A very intelligent woman in her late thirties came into the house wearing a black dress, which suited her well. She looked at her husband who gazed longingly out the window.
“Honey, do you remember that time when I was sick and you stayed at home with me three days, without every leaving me by myself?” the man asked.
“Yes, that was two years ago. Why?” his wife said.
“I just wanted to thank you for that. I want to thank you for everything you have ever done for me because it made me realize how truly lucky I am for marrying you.” her husband said. “You are the most beautiful and amazing person I have ever met, and I just wanted you to know that.” He said.
“Your welcome honey.” The woman said, walking over to her husband, putting her arms over his shoulders. “You know I did all that stuff because I love you and I honestly believed in the marriage vows that we took, I will take care of you in sickness and in health, till death do us part.” She said, tears beginning to run down her cheek.
Her husband then turned around, looking into his wife’s eyes and smiled. His eyes were red from crying and seeing him like that made the woman feel sad. She pulled his face towards hers and kissed his lips, slowly, with caring and support. They both knew what was happening, and they both accepted it, knowing that until that point, their lives had been perfect.
