There is nothing to
having a perfect
marriage. Live your
life one day at a time.
Wash the dishes and the
clothes. Greet the sun
with a smile. Do what
you can. Remember
how you felt on your
beautiful wedding day. And if
you can make the time –
for you must – to make love
be sure to make the
love
that lasts. No one
expects perfection.
Be the best other half
you can be. If
you run out of time,
you can never get it
back. So remember
to say a kind word or
none at all. The sun
rises each morning and
the sun
sets every night. Tick,
tock, tick, tock. Be loving.
Put the other first.
Above all, remember
to pray together. No
one can be perfect,
but maybe with His help
you can get close. Time
flees like a bandit. Do
not let it be stolen. If
you do these things,
and if
you are these things,
the Son
will help you through
each day. Time
may fly, but enjoy it!
Laugh at his silly joke! Love
each other’s quirks;
his little imperfections
that only you know
about. Remember
that your sweet husband
remembers
that he loves you, even
if
you are somewhat less
than perfect.
Give him what he needs.
Shine like the sun
only for him. Tell him
you need, appreciate and love
him. He works so hard
for your little family. Time
flies and he knows it –
that is why when he gives his time
to play and snuggle and
talk, remember
that he keeps trying, even
when it’s hard to show you that he loves
you. And then – oh,
what joy! – when you whisper into his ear: “If
two are so very happy,
imagine the arrival of our son!
For soon we will be
three, our own little family. Nothing could be more perfect.”
Love is the hardest
thing to be. If
only we had more time
to become more perfect
lovers. Reader!
Remember what I said about the sun.
