A great marriage is not when the "perfect couple" comes together.

It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.

laundry..

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).
