A married couple had been together for twenty-five years and, according to everyone who knew them, they had never had a single argument.

Not one.

No shouting, no silent treatment, no slammed doors, nothing.

One day, a friend of theirs finally asked the husband, “How is that even possible? Twenty-five years of marriage and you two have never fought?”

The husband smiled and said, “Well, it all started on our honeymoon.”

He explained that they had gone to a ranch shortly after the wedding. One afternoon, they decided to go horseback riding.

His wife climbed onto her horse, but after a few minutes, the horse suddenly jumped, and she fell to the ground.

She got up, dusted herself off, gently patted the horse, and said, “This is your first time.”

They continued riding.

A little later, the horse jumped again, and she fell off a second time.

Once again, she stood up calmly, walked over to the horse, patted it, and said, “This is your second time.”

The husband thought it was a little strange, but said nothing.

Then, after a while, the horse threw her off a third time.

This time, she got up, reached into her bag, pulled out a gun, and shot the horse.

The husband was horrified.

“Are you crazy?” he shouted. “You killed the horse!”

His wife slowly turned, looked him straight in the eyes, and said:

“This is your first time.”
