First, marriage should be love <br />all encompassing, total, and free. <br />Love that grows stronger each day <br />soft murmurs of Thee, Thee, Thee. <br /> <br />Second, marriage should be sacrifice <br />giving of self, regardless of reward. <br />Gift gladly given, with open heart <br />shielded from life's harsh sword. <br /> <br />Third, marriage should be commitment <br />utter loyalty, deep to the bone. <br />Absolutely, no questions asked <br />faithfully promised, never alone. <br /> <br />Lastly, marriage should be forever <br />family bonded, yet all still free. <br />Lives joined with love, sacrifice, and commitment <br />an eternity promised with - <br />Thee, Thee, Thee<br /><br />Mahfooz Ali<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/marriage-stages-to-be-fololwed/
