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

Of course not. We do, however, as a race tend to make commitments we couldn't possibly know if we'll be able to keep, like LOVING someone until we DIE. Over 50% of the Americans who've ever been in married thought they could, and were wrong.

I'm committed to love and my own and my wife's happiness, not to commitment itself. If any of those things goes, we've already failed. We will not set ourselves up to fail at pure endurance. What's the romance of that?
