What Marriage Should Be

First, marriage should be love
all encompassing, total, and free.
Love that grows stronger each day
soft murmurs of   THEE, THEE, THEE.

Second, marriage should be sacrifice
giving of self, regardless of reward.
Gift gladly given, with open heart
shielded from lifes' harsh sword.

Third, marriage should be commitment
utter loyalty, deep to the bone.
Absolutely, no questions asked
faithfully promised, never alone.

Lastly, marriage should be forever
family bonded, yet all still free.
Lives joined with love, sacrifice, and commitment
an eternity promised with....
                 THEE, THEE, THEE

*sigh*...I hope that when I get married it is like what you describe. Wonderful poem!

Love and hugs,

A lovely poem...Too bad too many marriages are me me me and not thee thee thee.

 May your roof never fall in and those beneath it never fall out.
