Preserving Your Marriage

Marriage is the joining of two bodies and two minds

Past mistakes are unwanted and better left behind

From this day forth you must take care of each other

You’ll learn to draw strength each day from one another

The first year is hardest but you must learn to adapt

Find your middle ground and the rest will work out

It’s a beautiful journey if you are dedicated

Time is your friend and will keep you educated

Learn from mistakes and heed this advice

Never bring them up and never try them twice

Appreciate each other and be verbally kind 

Each day when the sun sets leave your anger behind

As your journey progresses and the children arrive

Remember to keep your marriage alive 

Your children will grow up and leave the nest

Make sure your marriage doesn’t die from loneliness 

By following these words you’ll find marriage is bliss

And you’ll find there is no better place than this 

Home is meant to be your soft place to fall

And the love you project will envelope it all
