Affairs of the Heart

In love affairs of the heart
  Be guided by your head
Better now to break apart
  Than wish you'd never wed

Thank you for your kind words, Heidi. I'm turning into an old owl, but at least occasionally a wise old owl. LOL. Thanks again, Gershon

Amen!!! This is absolute truth. Marriage is too important to go into it haphazardly... bless you and thank you for the treasure

Hi Gershon, I totally agree. If not the divorce rate would be higher than it is now:-) Alexis

"wish you'd never wed" - such a sad feeling I imagine.

Yes, it's a sad feeling, but especially sad when the marriage didn't have to happen! ~ gw

Gershon, I like this poem. I think everyone should take the plunge...once. Okay, maybe twice. However, if you approach number Liz, time to re-evaluate your life. I still love and miss ya Liz... -The Pie

Liz Taylor, I presume... Then again, she and Zsa Zsa Gabor, who also had 10 husbands (I think), were in it strictly for the diamonds, as far as a I could tell. :) gw
