What he Wants

11. My Grandaddy Sanders died when I was pregnant with my oldest in 2002.  When he died he had been married 62 years to my Grandmommy.  I need to remember the advice he gave me about marriage--he said, "Anna, love each other.  Even when it is hard.  Work to make each other happy--sometimes do what he wants instead of what you want. Sometimes he should do what you want instead of what he wants.  Try to out-give each other."  That's about the best marriage advice I've ever heard--except maybe for Grandmommy's--the very same day she said, "Anna, let him be right, sometimes."
