Love and Marriage

Check out the drama scene. "Mr Do Right" and the drama queen. Making a fuss about the "ifs" and the "buts" of life they call marriage made in heaven on earth; now do tell - is all this drama what it's really worth? Here in the final hour is Mr. Goodbar and his woeful Mrs. Wallflower who no longer can "Fight the Power"; in the days of her youth she was all about the business of making it work for her good. Now 20 years later he is as loud and strong and as good as they come but Mrs. Wallflower looks like "Mrs. Doubtfire" and is plainly and painfully misunderstood. We strive for golden anniversaries and "pie in the sky" while we wear rose colored glasses on our newly wed eyes but after 7 years, sleepless nights children and and many wept tears, we realize that "Our Love Thang" is more than just a foolish lover's game but it is the hardest, most rewarding work we have committed to in all of our adult years. Marriage: Long live the dream.
