Good marriage story

It seems like every marriage story out there these days is about divorce rates, fewer people marrying, funky vows that refuse to use the words "til death do us part", or wedding bands that are incomplete circles. So today I do my public service and pass along a positive marriage story:
An 82-year-old man who went clamming in the Long Island Sound says he made the ultimate catch: the wedding ring he lost two years ago.
....
After his wife, Mary, scrubbed it with jewelry cleaner, they were able to read the inscription: "MPS to SJP 9-10-67." Her husband's eyes began to tear, she said.
One story like this can cancel out a week's worth of the negative stories.
