"A Good Marriage"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wrote this to our boys.  A reminder that marriage

doesn't solve all your problems...it just gives you

someone to share them with.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"insert the recipients names"


 A Good Marriage

A good marriage takes a lot of work
with many highs and lows.
Don't think that saying wedding vows
will banish all your woes.


At first you need to learn to share
not just your home and bed,
but everything that once was  "mine"
has changed to "ours" instead.


Then children bring a whole new set
of problems to your door;
with worries about school, their friends,
and bills, and bills galore.


When love survives through all of this
and then you're back to two;
you'll find the laughter and the tears
have served to strengthen you.
