With a couple celebrating their 50th anniversary at the Ward's High Priest golden anniversary recognition, the bishop announced, "This evening, brothers and sisters. I've asked our own Brother Ralph to take a few minutes and tell everyone how he managed to treat his wife with such kindness and live in peace and harmony all these years. Perhaps his secret will have an influence on the rest of us."
The husband replied to all the brothers and sisters, "Well, there's really nothing to it. I treated her with respect, spent money on her, but mostly I took her traveling on special occasions."
The bishop said, "Tell the Ward what you did for your 25th silver anniversary, Brother Ralph."
"For our 25th anniversary, I took her to Beijing , China ."
The bishop replied, "What a terrific example you are to all husbands, Brother Ralph. Okay, now you husbands pay attention. Doesn't that sound like a good idea? Take your wife traveling on special occasions. Maybe that will help some of you brethren out there to get along better with your wife. Now, Brother Ralph, tell all of us here tonight what you're going to do for your wife on your 50th anniversary?"
