Marriage (Free verse) by Dovina

Lay aside the legal lies Put away your dogma your hope of financial reward Keep your romantic notions but divorce them from marriage For marriage is stubborn an act of faith a union of forgivers Marriage overlooks wrong and raises his desires above yours every time, every day Anything less is fleeting doomed

1) It’s good that what you used to think has changed. If I ever thought that being a servant self-negator made me better than he, I would no longer be a servant self-negator.

2) Seldom would the perfect man become a jerk in the long term, though a jerk for an hour is expected.

3) That’s the nicest compliment you have ever given me.

5) My commitment would hold even if he becomes undesirable because it is a commitment, and I believe in commitment. It would be the same with or without kids, though kids add strength to a commitment. Property be damned.

6) Your wedding vow statement, “You are united by a connection that is strong because it is flexible” is what I’m talking about. We change; and the kind of love must change. The extreme outcome of this is an act of faith, where I overlook the wrong, raising his desires over mine, every time, every day.
