Marital Advice

Soon, together your lives will join
Unto newness before your eyes
With lessons for both to enjoy
Learning from each other will make you wise...

Change is inevitable in love
As two combine all that's inside
Marital seeds bloom softly there of
If some things are discussed to decide...




Loans are a real concern
And oft what we need today is trash tomorrow
As a couple ... this is yours to discern
And define the meaning of "think twice" and borrow

Life is ever a long test
Both should work to advance
With what's best for the family...the quest
Be supportive... and enhance

Learn how to work things out
Together as a team
And if ever you are in doubt
Let turmoil blow off steam

Live to give warmth through touch and word
Reminisce often of the past
Learn to give signals both seen and heard
As communication builds stems that last

Laugh often and treasure
What makes each other unique
Do the small things that bring pleasure
When you argue what do you seek?

Let go, sometimes, and let God
Have faith...and hold on a little longer
Pray and read the Word...love's safety rod
For then the marriage is found stronger

Look at each other deeply
To where lies the heart and soul
There love is nourished for safe keeping-
Yielding a bouquet alive and whole

Listen to the light
That teaches from above
Strive to choose the right
Give respect to love
