The Secret to a Happy Marriage

Most of you know that most of the patients I work with are 50+ years old. I always try to start conversations so that therapy is less work and more of a social visit. And I enjoy hearing what they have to say. More often then not, some one is celebrating a 30, 40, 50 year wedding anniversary. I always ask him/her what their secret is to a long and happy marriage. Last week, one gentleman replied, "Instead of looking at her faults, I choose to look at my wife's good qualities. Everyone has faults, but not everyone has much more of the good stuff."
