A beautiful anecdote from:
Sacred Marriage
The wife of a couple we know decided to get her husband some golf clubs for his birthday. She went to a store and told the owner, “Here’s the money for a set of clubs. My husband and I will come in here tomorrow night. He’ll look over these clubs, then walk over to talk to me about it, then go back to the clubs and touch the ones he decides are the best option. At that point, I want you to walk up to him and say, ‘Your wife already paid for these yesterday. Happy Birthday.’”
The clerk was surprised and a little suspicious, but he agreed to the plan.
The next day, our friend took her husband to a restaurant next door to the golf shop. After dinner, the husband (as predicted) pointed to the shop and said, “You mind if we just stop in there?”
“Not at all,” the wife said.
The husband walked through the shop and settled on two sets of clubs. He then walked back to his wife and conferred with her about them, then returned to the clubs and touched the set he thought would be best. The owner came up and went through his spiel.
