Marriage

Marriage

A day set apart by two special people

Emotions are bound to arise

Pensive, magical, mysterious.

Exciting, intriguing, joyful

Wondering if their choice is wise.

Because marriage is a sacred bond.

It takes two people

Who cared enough about each other

To enter into a sacred covenant that has no equal.

Because two individuals are now one.

Sharing every joy, happiness, sickness, sadness under the sun.

Learning many things about the other.

Things singles are not privy to know.

It is these likenesses and differences

That will tightly cement the bond enabling them to grow.

Learning new different kinds of love

Caring and sharing, laughing and weeping.

But the most important thing to learn

Is kindness and respect for each others keeping.

Harsh words, silly bickering, disrespect

Should be avoided and never cause weeping.

Tenderness and love is the secret to

A long and happy marriage.

Love soothes all wounds.

    david, if those who are even thinking about getting married would say to them selves,” how would I like being treated ” and treat others the same way, marrage would be a true joy.
