I remember one time when I was a teenager. My little brother & I were watching TV when we heard our parents arguing in the kitchen. Now, my parents had had arguments before, but this one sounded like the worst one ever. We started getting upset & nervous. Then we heard my father explode, “Oh, for goodness’ sake, Sweetheart!!!” We busted up laughing, hearing that, even in the midst of a horrible argument my dad STILL called my mom “Sweetheart”. Our parents heard our laughing, realized what was up…and that effectively put an end to their argument. And THAT, my friends, is one of the reasons they ended up married for 67 years.
