Never Marry Someone You Love

It’s quite simple, dear
To live life with cheer
Here is what you must do:
Never marry someone you love
Marry someone who loves you.

Does it seem insane?
Well, it’ll save you pain
And make you happier too
Never marry someone you love
Marry someone who loves you.

Is it hard to see
How this should be
Mama’s commandment true?
Never marry someone you love
Marry someone who loves you

If you love him to death
If he’s your life’s breath
He’ll take advantage of you
So, never marry someone you love
Marry someone who loves you

This bit of advice
Comes at a great price
But it rings with words so true
Never marry someone you love
Marry someone who loves you

He’ll give you his best
Forget all the rest
Each day love’s pledges make new
Never ever marry someone you love
Marry someone who loves you...

Marry someone who loves you!

    Is the TV Show "Castle" a good example of what you are talking about? I know sometimes females tend to fight the feeling, yet the way they treat you says "I Love You." - JH

    Never seen the show so I wouldn't know. But yes...we find it hard to hide what we feel. Thanks for taking the time to read. :)

    Very smartly said young lady....the secret is just don't let him know you love him as much as you do. Hahaha enjoyed it, made me smile, for someone who's been married 36 years altogether hard to do!

    Hi, Donna. I've been married for twenty. This is advice I give my daughter...constantly. She's a tough cookie and not a softie like Mama. I'm sure she'll be fine! Hugs

    Thank, my dear Rachel...I know not many will agree. The hopeless romantic in me is the first to say it's pure rubbish, but the realist in me says otherwise! Thanks for the post! Always a pleasure!

    Interesting concept Eileen, I remember my mother saying those same words to me when I was very young, I believe it's even better when it is reciprocated. Then things are really steamy, SMILE< xxx

    Of course, my dear! That IS the ideal, but life isn't always ideal, is it? Hugs!
