Poem
The Good Wife She remembers the words she spoke in front of a church full of people that on calm, September afternoon. She recalls feeling like it truly was the best day of her life, and that she never wanted it to end. So thrilled to be finally happy and in love with the man God had brought into her life. The one chosen just for her! The man that was destined to be her life-long partner, for better or for worse. Before he came along, she had come to accept her life as a single woman. She knew that if that's how God had intended her life to be, then that's how it would be. But, she still couldn't get over the lingering feeling inside that held her deepest desire. In her heart, she wanted to marry and be a good wife. And if it was God's will, she believed that he would indeed bring her the right one at the right time. She had cried many lonesome, sad tears back then. And many of the same tears are being cried now. The years together in this union have rolled by, the last few being the most trying for her. Things have fallen apart emotionally in a very big way, though unbeknownst to him. She feels a void where that love connection used to be. She feels deep disappointment where her hopes and plans for their life together used to be. The happiness she felt in the early years seems to have withered away, taking along with it her outlook for the future. The adage, 'Happy Wife, Happy Life' has gotten real old, real fast. And she's no longer sure if the words spoken in the church that day still hold the same meaning now as they did then. But, if they did ... would she still be wondering? Because those daily prayers to God, now tell of a different longing in her heart. A longing that causes her to question if that special man sent to her all those years ago, really was indeed the one she prayed so hard for. The one she willingly accepted into her life, for better or for worse. The one this 'Good Wife' just isn't feeling the good life with anymore. If a relationship or marriage is no longer a happy place to be, despite attempts to encourage and foster that happiness...then what do you suppose a Good Wife is to do? Does a Good Wife stay? Or does a Good Wife leave?
