Marriage Takes Three

( MARRIAGE TAKES THREE )

I once thought marriage took, 
just two to make a go. 
But now I'm convinced, 
it takes the Lord also. 

And not one marriage fails, 
where Christ is asked to enter. 
As lovers come together, 
with Jesus at the center. 

In homes where Christ is first, 
it's obvious to see. 
Those unions really work, 
for marriage still takes three.
