This is definitely a question that has plagued many a married man and I think that I have just received the answer in an email. I wonder if the ethnicity of the bloke in question had anything to do with the solution to this question.

At Saint Anne’s Catholic Church they have a weekly husband’s marriage seminar. At last weeks session Father James asked Luigi, who was approaching his 50th wedding anniversary, to take a few minutes and share some insight into how he had managed to stay married to the same woman all these years.

Luigi replied to the assembled husbands, “Well, I’ve a-tried to treat-a her nice, spend the money on her, but best is that I took-a her to Italy for the 20th anniversary!”

The Priest responded, “Luigi, you are an amazing inspiration to all the husbands here! Please tell us what you are planning for your wife for your 50th anniversary.”

Luigi proudly replied, “I’m a-gonna go and get her.”
