What is Marriage ?

:star: What is marriage ?
by Helen Steiner Rice

Marriage is the union of two people in love,
and love is sheer magic for it's woven of
Gossamer dreams, enchantingly real,
but the exquisite ecstasy " that captures the heart
of two people in love is just a small, Part

of the beauty and wonder and miracle of
The growth and the fulfillment and evolvement of love -for
Only long years of living together
and sharing and caring in all kinds of weather

Both pleasure and pain, the glad and the sad
Teardrops and laughter, the good and the bad
Can add new dimensions and lift love above
The rapturous ecstasies of " falling in love "

For ecstacy passes but it is replaced
By something much greater that cannot be defaced,
For what was " In part " has now "become whole "
For on the wings of the flesh," Love entered the " soul '

On the day of my brother in Christ wedding, I can only have joy for he found love and sadness for I still stand alone.
But I take great pride in being a Bride of Christ.
