Marriage Bond

The marriage bond is more than just...A ticket for a meal...
It is supposed to represent...A 50 -50 deal...It is a partnership
of love... That centers in the heart...And constantly requires
each... To play an equal part... It contemplates a deep respect
...And willingness to share... The tears and troubles either
one... Is called upon to bear... The marriage bond is meant to
be...An everlasting tie... Eternal as the silver stars... That
decorate the sky... It is a miracle to match... The glory of the
sun... By which a promise is pronounced...And two become
as one.
