After the ceremony, the priest asked the male parishioners:
– Who among you often gets hit by your wives? Please stand up. – All the men stood up, except for one who remained seated.
The priest approached him and said warmly:
– The Lord teaches you to love one another. Husbands and wives should live in harmony and be considerate of each other. You are truly commendable. It’s a pity that there are so few people like you in this world. You are the first person of this kind I have encountered.
The man responded with a hint of sadness:
– Father, I cannot accept your compliment.
– Why is that? – The priest asked.
– The thing is, I am unable to stand because my wife has made me disabled – the man hesitated.
