Making It Work

Making love work
is a decision
two lovers
make
to
make it work
no matter what

Well written, this is the difference between being together and walking away.

Great stuff. I learnt that the very hard way. After remarriage it works ...

Yes, not many people learn that lesson early in life.

And that is the crux of it, however, I have spoken to women who are in a marriage of one, and it is such a struggle they have to let the non-participant go on.

Life is too short. The ironic thing is that we are not doing the "non-participant" (as you so aptly call them) a favor by prolonging the relationship.
