As I looked across my living room at the dark window on the other side I saw two lights down in the valley. When I closed my right eye, one light disappeared. Only one sharply-defined light remained. I was surprised. With both eyes open, there were again two lights.

I closed my left eye. The two lights again became just one, but this light was blurred. I also noticed that with my left eye closed I was unable to discern the features of the object on the table across the room. I couldn't even identify what it was. Using only my left eye I could plainly see the object.

I picked up a book. Using only my right eye, the words on the page were clear, and I could read rapidly, but when I closed the right eye and tried to read with only my left eye, I had to struggle to make out the words. I read slowly.

I was surprised all over again. My left eye could clearly see distant objects, but it was my right eye that enabled clear, close-up vision.

Two are better than one. This principle applies to marriage. Blending the viewpoints and thoughts of husband and wife nearly always produces a better decision.
