He Had No Idea Whom He Was Marrying

She was practically comatose
sluggish
lethargic
apathetic

A handsome newcomer slipped into the room
And she miraculously transmogrified
into a glitzy, shiny, fire ball.

He married her a few weeks later
Having no idea
Whom he was getting.

Perhaps but my cousin dated his high school sweetheart for seven and she left him for a woman. So some marriages work out and others don’t. I knew mine for two months, we had ups and downs but we share a nice life together.

I think people should date for at least four years first.
