A Husband’s Big Question—and the Surprising Answers He Never Expected

Henry took a breath. “And the third time?” he asked.

Martha paused, then said in a calm voice, “Do you remember when you ran for president of your golf club? You needed seventy-three more votes…”

She let the words trail off, wearing a small, innocent smile.

Henry stared at her for a moment—then slowly leaned back, speechless. After a long pause, he couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. The story, outrageous as it was, somehow fit their long, winding journey together.

Their life had been filled with love, challenges, surprises, and a humor that carried them through more than they ever expected. And in that moment, Henry realized that even after fifty years, marriage still had a way of handing him a twist he would never have predicted.
