A good marriage is made of equal respect <br />And the ability to communicate <br />You have to be able to talk to each other <br />You have to be able to relate <br /> <br />You have to show each other every day <br />How much in love you are <br />It takes two people to make it work <br />Together, not from afar <br /> <br />Some say you don't have to work on a marriage <br />Marriages work out on their own <br />Those are the people who live in denial <br />And usually end up alone <br /> <br />And don't forget we all have our faults <br />stay strong and feed off each others strength <br />Worry about being happy in your marriage <br />And less about it's length <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />All I can tell you is what works for us <br />And it's been working for over 30 years <br />We've shared love, respect and a wonderful friendship <br />And we have even shared a few tears <br /> <br />I wouldn't trade marriage for all the money in the world <br />I would never trade the man that I love <br />We are an example of what real soul mates are <br />And our marriage was blessed from God above <br /> <br /> I LOVE YOU CHUCK <br /> <br /> by Dianna Nally <br /> 8/31/08<br /><br />Dianna Nally<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-good-marriage/
