First,
marriage should be love
all encompassing, total, and free.
Love that grows stronger each days of murmurs of Thee, Thee, Thee.
Second,
marriage should be sacrifice
giving of self, regardless of reward.
Gift gladly given, with open heartshielded from life's 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
