A great marriage is not when the 'perfect couple' comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.

In twin
It needs a couple of wings
To fly
A couple to walk
A couple to talk
And for love a couple of hearts
to beat
To rain it needs a couple
To shine it needs a couple
And the life it needs to share
With couple
For one smile it needs
two hearts
In one band
in the bundle of love
The heart is not alone
Not bachelor
That is way
They beat
In twin.

My parents did not have a perfect marriage. It was pretty good, but it was not perfect. My marriage is not perfect. My wife is, but I happen to be imperfect. However, that does not discount the fact that the definition of marriage must be defended and protected.

The Old Couple
The was an old couple who were so close,
He said to his wife, it's great that you I chose;
To share my life as we go through each day,
Yes! I love you my darling, do you hear what I say?
The old couple were married for many a year,
When any one asked how, they said all ways stay near;
Also they said, never leave an argument undone,
Before any day is ended, at the set of the sun.
The husband said, take time to listen, and she did agree,
And then added, I will show my love so he will see;
Then they added, enjoy to help, the other out too,
Sharing the heavy load of work is what we love to do.
This old couple had lived for 60 years together,
They had seen many a child grow,16grandkids together;
Never in front of a child would they quarrel or fight,
But; wait till they were lone, then get the problem right.
We all should learn from all old couples that are happy,
To try to do the same, and our marriages go well I see;
One thing is certain, put God first in your partnership,
That was the rule they said, and this is a very good tip.

Dinner For Three
she is a doctor and he is a lawyer
looks like they are sweet after three years
of marriage
compatible, super, she says
as she takes a sip of her pineapple juice
while he prefers not beer
but just plain water,
well, he knows more about
asthma and heart disease
but i do not know more about
legal terms, she tells me again,
one time, he tells me
in the email, he cannot live without her
even for a minute
super, really super, this loveydovey couple
i like them
but sometimes, i couldn't help thinking
they are still new on this
trade, this marriage, and still there will be
more storms to come
superstorms
i still have yet twelve years
i and emma, and we still need more storms
to shake this boat
this marriage
and if there are none to come
i will rock it, let me see how anger
makes her more human
and strong and true
and perhaps even more
beautiful,
then soon, when these couple for three blissful years
comes again
it will now be a nicer dinner for four.

To a Happy Marriage
This poem, to a happy marriage,
When the couple got in and out of the carriage.
Always together, never leaving oneanother,
Everyone cries, the bride, sisters, mother, father and brother.
Yet all that comes to the grooms mind is 'you okay? '
He is crazy, her mothers home is where she is willing to stay!
Yet people ask 'why is that you cry? '
They too are stupid! , she wont stop even if she'll try!
Its her home she leaves,
Everyone, her departure grieves.
Gives up her ownself,
To someone else.
Hoping he will for all life to come, care,
In all distances be near.
To a happy marriage, this poem I dedicate,
That this happy couple is never struck by bad fate.
I wish, hope and pray,
To see them together, happy this way.

A Couple More Years
I've got a couple more years on you, baby...that's all.
I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall.
And it ain't that I'm wiser...
It's only that I've spent more time with my back to the wall.
And I've picked up a couple more years on you, baby.. that's all.
I've walked a couple more roads than you, baby...that's all.
And I'm tired of runnin' while you're only learning to crawl.
And you're headin somewhere...
But I've been to somewhere... and found it was nowhere at all.
And I've picked up a couple of years on you baby... that's all.
Now sayin' goodbye, girl don't never come easy at all.
But you've got to fly 'cuz you're hearin' those young eagles call.
And someday when you're older, you'll smile at a man strong and tall.
And you'll say I've got a couple more years on you, baby... that's all.
I've got a couple more years on you baby... that's all.
You'll say I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall.
It ain't that I'm wiser...
It's only that I've spent more time with my back to the wall.
And I've picked up a couple more years on you baby... that's all.

One's A Couple
Thanks, but no thanks
I Didn't come here to dance
I'm with somebody, I'm afraid I'll have to pass
Two years ago he left me, now his memory's back around
One's a couple baby,
Two's a crowd
We came in here to be alone
No TV, no telephone
Two old flames out on the town
One still burns, and one's burned out
One's a couple baby,
Two's a crowd
They institutionalize people for actin' like I do
I'm drinkin' with somebody, that ain't in the room
Can't you see we're busy, trying to work our problems out?
One's a couple baby,
Two's a crowd
We came in here to be alone
No TV, no telephone
Two old flames out on the town
One still burns, and one's burned out
One's a couple baby,
Two's a crowd
We came in here to be alone
No TV, no telephone
Two old flames out on the town
One still burns, and one's burned out
One's a couple baby,
Two's a crowd
One's a couple baby,
Two's a crowd

The belated wish
The couple pride themselves on giving birth to sons.
That couple had pride in having all sons.
All sons left, having been owned by their wives.
The couple wishes they got a daughter.

Is marriage good?
Marriage demands living together.
Sexual compatibility is not enough.
Personality clashes intervene.
Marriage tests the couple’s tolerance.

My Love Is Not Perfect
My love is not perfect.
It does not flawlessly sail the seven seas
It clears no mount in single bound
No epic stuff this
My love is not perfect.
Threats may not be seen
Predators may be invited unwittingly
My love is not perfect.
It is often blind to dangerous flaws
It can be the staircase of a catastrophic fall
My love is not perfect.
It can hurt unknowingly
And injure me fatally
Yet this imperfect love
Brings forth my best 'me'
Without this love
I could not be.
This imperfect love is strength
For imperfect me.

Marriage Mission
Countless couple cut communication
Communication cut, cripples courtship
Continuous communication creates;
Captivating colourful courtship
Most married men make many mistakes
Mates misunderstand marriage’s missions
Marriage’s missions: mentoring, maturing, multiplication, mating
Mission missed marriage messed
Mate must meet marriage’s missions
Mission met marriage mended

The Covenant Of Lover's
the covenant of lover's,
I saw their covenant of these lover's,
It was so tight,
So nice that they envied them,
the two couple's,
married with a pledge,
great lover's from wealthy families,
but thing's change and go another way,
when one lover is distracted,
another discouraged,
another man slept with a mistress,
and he pledged eternity in a wedding,
can a blessing abound in such a circumstance, ?
God is the ratification master,
the man broke the law Covenant of faithfulness,
Do we mean what we say, ?
Or do we guess that marriage,
Is a fantasy, a honeymoon or journey of life,
Marriage is vital for a stable family,
Marriage is the essence of love,
Maybe a blessing and appreciation of two lover's.
