Harmony

On his 50th anniversary they were asked this question:
What has made your marriage so enjoyable and strong
In this day and age…when many marriages fall apart…
How is it you’ve stayed together for so long?

They paused for but a moment 
then the same thought entered their heads.
“I believe what has kept us together so long
has to do with dreams” he said.

“I had a dream about where my life would go
and what I was going to do
and I’m sure before I knew her
my wife had her dream too.”

“But the secret to our marriage”, she continued
“something we both long ago realized
was not only that our two dreams came together
but how they harmonized.”
