Married and happy for half a century, then the husband admitted that he lied to her all this time – her reaction wasn’t what he expected
Love is more than sure among the most beautiful things in the world. When two people fall in love, they change completely. They feel much better, the days are sunnier, the mornings are peaceful, they radiate happiness and enjoy the unique moments with that special person. Those who know what love is are very lucky and as Sam Keen said “We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly”.
In the next story, we will learn about what it means to truly love, this means that sometimes you have to compromise for things to work out in the end. The perfect proof that one of the key ingredients in the love recipe is sacrifice is the fact that this man admitted that he lied in 50 years of marriage. Sounds weird, doesn’t it? How comes that lying is a good thing? Make sure you follow till the end and you will understand completely.
Two people lived on top of a hill together, in a modest house but surrounded by nature and tranquility. They were poor but they were happy with what they had and they didn’t need anything extra, they were happy to have found each other. They could not afford to go to luxury restaurants or go on exotic vacations. The only luxury they could afford was something that is quite common for many people nowadays.
Every week they made cherry pie one day and enjoyed it in front of the fireplace, most often on Fridays. In those quiet moments, they felt what true happiness meant: the fact that they were embracing, enjoying their favorite dessert while admiring the wood burning in the fire. They laughed together, debugged memories, and most of the time fell asleep hugging.
The two had different preferences about the pie, he liked the filling, and she liked the crispy crust. After 50 years together, the husband became ill and because the disease worsened and he felt worse, the man wanted to confess. Lying on the bed, being ill, he said to her: My dear wife, we have had good and bad times together. We overcame obstacles, descended and climbed mountains, so it’s time to know the truth.4
I lied to you about the pie, I don’t like the filling, but for your sake, I give up to see you happy, because that has always been my wish, to see you smiling all the time because that’s the source of my happiness. “We are wonderful together! I did the same for you all this time!”, the woman answered. They hugged and whispered promises. It’s very important to concentrate on the blessings that we have, instead of craving for other things that might seem very tempting or important. Concentrate on the good and you will be happy, there are people with less and happier. Share this beautiful story with your friends and family!
