The Truth about Abraham and Mary's Marriage

[LincolnMan]

Well, the Lincoln's loved each other, don't you think? I think they did-in their own way. And as couples do-they tolerated each other also. I think it was at President Lincoln's Cottage that he had greeted guests in his nightwear. Mary must have been aghast! At the same time, he asked for Mary's permission to return to the Executive Mansion. I think their relationship was partly like the one portrayed between grandpa and grandma Walton on the TV series The Waltons. Remember how they would verbally carry on with each other. She would say: "You old fool!" And he would tease her with some return remark. Yet, the viewer knew that they really loved each other.
