In Partnership

The Marriage is a partnership...Of profit or of loss...In which
not either party should...Presume to be the boss...It is a partnership
in which...The two should be a team...With equal share in every
care...And every plan and dream...The wife has certain duties,
and...The husband has his own...And no success is ever earned...By
either one alone...But either can deflect or plunge...The lifeline on
their chart...The same as either one can hurt...Or break the other's
heart...The marriage is a partnership...Whose ultimate success...Is
measured by the profits gained...Through love and happiness.
