Husbands And Wives
They have given their life to you — therefore, you owe it to
them to respond,
That is, appropriately, bearing in mind here, that only love can
bond.
Yes, as their life-long partner, you have a duty to treat them
rightfully,
For it’s all about sacrifice — not about expecting, not about,
ME.
You see, because you are their life-long partner, you’re
effectively their life,
Therefore, you'll either fill their life with joy, or with much
misery and strife.
But it's terribly cruel and most unfair to cause them pain and
despair,
When they could have had a lovely spouse, who for them would
truly love and care.
“I was wrong,” “I’m very sorry,” “Will you please forgive
me,” and, “I love you,”
Are four very important things to remember, and well before
bedtime too,
For you’re marriage will not be a happy one, or it simply will
not last,
If these four things that I've mentioned aren't said, and
preferably very fast.
As a very early ballad conveys, “The angry words spoken in
haste,
Such a waste of two lives,” — and in far too many lives, such
are often traced.
And this sad ballad continues, “It’s my belief that pride is the
chief cause
In the decline in the number of husbands and wives.” — Here I'd
like to pause.
What exactly is
pride? It’s that dreadful self
thing — you don’t want to lose face,
Yes, you’re far more concerned with that little ME, and how
often that’s the case.
Well, friend, you should be bigger than that — after
all, marriage is for adults,
It’s certainly not for the likes of someone who self interest
exalts.
The way that you treat your partner — in other words, your
husband or your wife,
Not only displays the real you, but also, affects your very own
life.
Yes, it’s not just their
life that you spoil via such, it’s not just
them that you hurt,
Therefore, I would give self the boot, and that way, heartache
you’ll avert.
Oh, how partners need to bury self — otherwise, their
marriage will just fail;
Sure it may not actually break apart, but joylessness will
prevail.
It's often said that “it takes
two to tango”, and in marriage that’s so true,
However, that should never stop you from doing those things that
you should do.
