Loretta Lynn said pouring beans on her husband helped get her point across
Today, my Doo would be 96 years old. Wow! I still remember that young soldier I first met in Butcher Holler. Happy birthday, honey.#Loveisthefoundation pic.twitter.com/attV3AKCIb

While some might think covering your spouse in their dinner lacks etiquette, Lynn shared that the action made her point that time.
When Oliver came home the following day still covered in beans, they had a productive conversation about how she didn’t want to have to communicate certain things to him — she wanted him to know instinctively. And their anniversary was one of those occasions.
“Then Doo, dirty shirt, dried bean juice all over him, kissed me,” Lynn recalled. After he took the day off work to spend it at home and take a bath, they reconciled. And a few weeks later, she learned she was pregnant.
Despite the ups and downs of their marriage and raising six children, the couple stayed together until he died in 1996. Notably, she never rewed before her death in 2022.
