The secret of marriage

 There is a  story of a man who has is seriously contemplating  to separate from his wife, because he feels he no longer loves his wife. They’re not living together; he's working abroad, and the wife works in another country too. So he seeks the counsel and advice of a wise mam.

The wise man told him that before he seeks a formal separation from his wife,  he should first get all the pictures of their wedding album and then when he has them all, go to the fireplace and burn them. But the wise man requests the husband that he should burn these wedding pictures, one by one.

So the man follows the counsel of the wise man—he gets all his wedding pictures, strips a picture of the album, then burns it, one by one.

After sometime, the man starts to stare at each picture he burns, then the stare becomes longer and longer before he throws a picture to the fire. And 100th picture, he could no longer burn it, there are just too many a and beautiful and inspiring memories embedded in every picture. Thus he decided otherwise.

He learns the secret of marriage: patience.
