Mother Teresa often gives people unexpected advice. When a group of Americans, many in the teaching profession, visited her in Calcutta, they asked her for some advice to take home to their families.
"Smile at your wives," she told them, "Smile at your husbands."
Thinking perharps the counsel was simplistic, coming from an unmarried person, one of them asked, "Are you married?"
"Yes," she replied, to their surprise, "and I find it hard sometimes to smile to Jesus. He can be very demanding."
