[ Being ½ Of A Successful Marriage Partnership, Has Been The
     Hardest Job, You Have Ever Had ]
[ Though Alot More Rewarding, Than Your Failed Attempt @
     Being A Dad ]

[ You Can’t Make Somebody, Love You ]
[ No Matter How Hard You Try ]
[ & No Matter, What You Do ]

[ In A Marriage, You Get What You Give ]
[ It All Depends, On How You Want To Live ]

[ Peace & Harmony Are Two Important Ingredients, To Work
     For ]
[ If You Don’t Have That, For The Majority Of The Time ]
[ Someone, Would Be Headed For The Door ]

[ One Thing, That People Say ]
[ Is That You Don’t Want To Be Mad @ Each Other @ The End Of
     The Day ]

[ That Is Nearly Impossible To Happen ]
[ Once Something Is Said … ]
[ Then … ]

[ An Argument Is Hard To Stop ]
[ A Subject That You Are Talking About, Is Hard To Drop ]

[ Being Understanding & Having Patience Are A Must ]
[ (2) Very Important Tasks, Is To Give & Have Trust ]

[ ( HELLO ) Turns To Like, Then Turns To Love ]
[ A Committment Is Made, That Is As Tight As A Glove ]

[ Through The Years, Each Other Goes Through Changes, But
     They Always Need To Adjust As They Come ]
[ Never, You Say Never, Call Your Spouse Dumb ]

[ It Is Imperative ]
[ That In Stressful Times, You Need To Get Creative ]

[ Understand That Each Of You Comes With Emotional
     Baggage & Faults ]
[ Always Give, From The Heart ]
[ & Show More Emotions Than A Robot ]

[ Celebrate Milestones & Never Forget Birthdays Or The     
     Anniversary Of Your Wedding Day ]
[ Stick Together Through The Good & The Bad ]
[ & … Stay ]

[ You Are 25 Years In ]
[ & You Would Do All Of This All Over Again & Again ]

[ But You Would Also Change A Few Events That Blocked
     Your Path ]
[ You Would Have Done Better In Your Classes While In
     College ]
[ Especially In Math ]

[ Maybe You Would Have Called Out Of Work, The Night Of
     The Life-Changing Riot ]
[ & Stayed Home Where There Was Peace & Quiet ]

[ You Would Change How You Raised Your Son ]
[ The Way He Is Now ]
[ You Never Liked How It Was All Done ]

[ Other Than That One Major Thing ]
[ You Sure Picked The Right Woman To Give Your Ring ]

(101)▪︎[ Thankful For Marriage … 2•2•2020 ]

[ Dear Marriage, This Is A Letter Of Thanks ]
[ From One Very Happily Married Man, To You ]
[ There Was Never Enough Money In The Banks ]
[ To Keep Me From Saying ( I DO ) ]

[ @ The Right Time ]
[ In The Right Place ]
[ So I’m Able To Write A Good Rhyme ]
[ Without Feeling Like A Disgrace ]

[ You Need A Licence To Get Married ]
[ But It Doesn’t Come With An Instructional Booklet ]
[ You Shouldn’t Expect To Get Carried ]
[ By Someone That You Just Met ]

[ Your Engagement May Have Been Long ]
[ Or It May Have Been A Few Days ]
[ Did The Time Make Your Bond Strong? ]
[ Did You Find That You Can Love Each Other In All Different
Kinds Of Ways? ]
[ If Something Goes Wrong ]
[ What Incentives Did You Give Your Spouse To Stay? ]

[ Do Unto Others As You Would Want ]
[ Make That Golden Rule A Mantra ]
[ Not A Taunt ]

[ When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Does What? ]
[ They Rise & Shine ]
[ Even Though It Feels Like They’ve Been Kicked In The Gut ]
[ Always Be Kind ]
[ Never End A Compliment With A ( BUT … ) ]

[ That Added ( BUT … ) Ruins The Compliment Just By Itself ]
[ In Effect ]
[ You’re Also Saying That Whatever You’re Complimenting About
Can Be Done Better By Someone Else ]

[ Thank You Marriage For Teaching Me That Love Really Is A
Two-Way Street ]
[ Compromising Does Not Have To Happen Because You’re Weak ]
[ It Shouldn’t Leave You With The Feeling That You’ve Been Beat ]
[ Coming Together As A Couple Is What You Should Seek ]

[ In Dark Times Try To Remember The Good Feelings When You
Just Met ]
[ Aren’t Those The Good Thoughts That You Get ]

[ But Hey, Marriage & Monogamy Is Not For Everyone ]
[ That Lives ]
[ Some People Suck The Fresh Air Out Before Year One ]
[ They Take Instead Of Gives ]

[ There Are Lots Of Reasons Why So Few People Want To
Take That Huge Jump ]
[ Some People Don’t Know How To Get Out Of An Emotional Slump ]

[ Yes, Relationships Have Slumps ]
[ There’s No Such A Thing As A Smooth Road ]
[ That Doesn’t Have Some Bumps ]
[ Sometimes You Will Have To Carry The Load ]
[ While Taking Some Lumps ]

[ Marriage Can Take Your Emotions On The Ride Of Your Life ]
[ One Minute You’re Digging With A Bent Spoon ]
[ The Next Minute You’re Cutting With The Sharpest Knife ]
[ If You Are The Husband ]
[ There Will Be Times When You’ll Lean On Or Carry Your Wife ]

[ Marriage & All That Comes With It Can ]
[ Make You Into A Better & More Complete Man ]

[ [ Like The Grains Of Sand That Runs Through The Hourglass ]
[ Your Life Can Go By You Really Fast ]
[ Just Don’t Let The One That’s Meant To Be ]
[ Go Past ]

[ So Guess Which Way I Lean When It Comes To Marriage As
A Whole ]
[ I Whole Heartedly Believe In It Right Down To My Soul ]
[ That’s How This Square Peg Fits In A Round Hole ]
