“I love you，Bob.” “I love you，too，Nancy.” It was 2 a.m. and I was hearing my parents' voices through the thin wall separating my bedroom from theirs. Their loving words were sweet，touching - and surprising.
My parents married on September 14，1940，after a brief dating. She was nearing 30 and knew it was time to start a family. The handsome，well-educated man who came by the office where she worked looked like a good bet. He was attracted by her figure，her blue eyes. The romance didn't last long.
Seeds of difference grew almost immediately. She liked to travel;he hated the thought. He loved golf;she did not. He was a Republican，she a loyal Democrat. They fought at the bridge table，at the dinner table，over money， over the perceived shortcomings of their respective in-laws.

The complaints were recited so often，I can repeat them by heart today. As he listened，my father would say angry threats and curses in a low voice.
It wasn't the happiest marriage，but as their 60th anniversary approached，my sister and I decided to throw a party. Sixty years was a long time，after all;why not try to make the best of things?We'd provide the cake，the balloons，the toasts，and they'd follow one rule：no fighting.
