Marriage
You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when white wings of death scatter your days.
Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together, yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.

Kahil Gibran beginnings......

Time after time

I tell myself that I'm

So lucky to be loving you.

So lucky to be -

the one you run to see

In the evening when the day is through.

I only know what I know,

the passing years will show

You've kept my love

so young, so new.

And time after time

you'll hear me say that I'm,

so lucky to be loved by you.

written by Sammy Kahn & Jule Styne

(my favorite is sung by Frank Sinatra)

Romance, marriage and love are beautiful things.

Wife asks dangerous question....

Love and Marriage

Love and Marriage

Go Together

Like a Horse

and Carriage

Wife says to her husband "Honey, do these new pants make my legs look fat?"

Husband answers wisely "My brothers told me to never answer questions like that."

Wife says "Right answer."
