Marriage #139 IN On This Day by Carl D. Windsor, the page for Valentine's Day includes this anecdote:

Even the most devoted couple will experience a stormy bout once in awhile. A grandmother, celebrating her golden wedding anniversary, once told the secret of her long and happy marriage. "on my wedding day, I decided to make a list of ten of my husband's faults which for the sake of our marriage, I would overlook," she said.

A guest asked the woman what some of the faults she had chosen to overlook were. The grandmother replied, "To tell you the truth, my dear, I never did get around to listing them. But whenever my husband did something that mad me hopping mad, I would say to myself, Lucky for him that's one of the ten!"
