How to stay married


Ein Ehepaar feierte ihren sechzigsten Hochzeitstag.

A married couple was celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary.
Auf der Feier wollte jeder wissen wie man so lange verheiratet bleibt.

At the party everybody wanted to know how they managed to stay married so long.
Der Ehemann antwortete: "Als wir geheiratet haben, hatten wir eine Abmachung."

The husband responded: "When we were married we came to an agreement."
"Ich würde alle grösseren Entscheidungen treffen und meine Frau würde alle kleineren Entscheidungen treffen."

"I would make all the major decisions and my wife would make all the minor decisions."
"Und in sechzig Ehejahren mussten wir nie eine grössere Entscheidung treffen."

"And in 60 years of marriage we have never needed to make a major decision."
