The Art of Marriage

By ~ Wilferd A. Peterson.

A good marriage must be created.

In the marriage the little things are the big things.

It is never being too old to hold hands.

It is remembering to say 'I love you' at least once a day.

It is never going to sleep angry.

It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives.

It is standing together and facing the world.....

It is forming a circle of love that gathers in the whole family.

It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways.

It is having the capacity to forgive and forget.

It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow.

It is a common search for the good and the beautiful.

It is only marrying the right person.

It is being the right partner.

Sight To See

A bride's as lovely as can be,
Her make-up painted perfectly,
Not a hair is out of place,
There is a glow upon her face.

Her gown is white and fluttery,
Her form's as shapely as can be,
Her veil surrounds her as it flows,
There's not a smudge upon her nose.

Yes, she is a sight to see,
Put together so nicely,
Then there's cake smooshed in her face,
And laughter's filling up the place!

Sincerely Thank You!

We would like to thank you
In a very simple way,
For coming just to share,
Our special wedding day.

We're so glad you were there,
To celebrate our joy,
We hope that you were glad,
And the day you did enjoy.

So we sincerely thank you,
You are so dear a friend,
We simply are delighted,
That you did attend!

Proper Way!

Fifty years, it seems so long,
And you two are still going strong,
Your marriage must be truly blessed,
For it has withstood many tests.

Little squabbles, you have had,
Then made up and felt so glad,
Always reaffirming love,
Like a gift sent from above.

Enjoy your anniversary,
We hope that it is filled with glee,
You both have earned your special day,
So celebrate the proper way!
