“All of us, at certain moments of our
lives, need to take advice and to receive help from other people.”

I recently
heard a beautiful story from a colleague in her mid-60s. Attractive, smart and engaging, my colleague
has been divorced for a long time and would welcome the opportunity to meet
someone and have a partner with whom to enjoy life. She shared that while standing in a line to
purchase tickets, she overhead an older
married couple behind her bickering. They
were arguing about why one of them had not bought the tickets earlier. Having
heard enough, my colleague turned around and asked them if they knew what they
were doing. She said that they were
married and that they should be happy, and that she would welcome the
opportunity to be married to someone. I
told my colleague that it would be terrific if she could share that view with
married couples, so many of whom have lost perspective of how blessed they are
to have a life partner. And then I called my husband to tell him how glad I am to be married to him.
