Friends - A Key To Happy Marriage

Marriage is a truly wonderful thing
bringing together man and woman
it's a sacred union blessed by God
all God's plan for many a human

But not all marriages work
increasingly failure comes about
especially in this modern day
life pressures cause breaks to shout

Today we miss something important
that is that couples must be friends
even more urgent than being lovers
for human love can easily just end

But real true abiding friendship counts
far more in holding a couple together
through all the tumbles of marriage
shows such beauty as a blade of heather

(Quote:
" It's not the lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.")
- Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900)

True enough Gordon. My wife and I started out as friends and attained “best friends” status about 5 years in. This May will mark 56 years. Still besties. John
