Newly Re-Wed Renewal

Here stand we again
   ready to grow
Entering into iron bonds
  of matrimony ho-
ly unpredictable, of course, but
  And this is their kindest cut:

Since we've each stood there before
   We'll walk clear-sighted through this door
Embrace twin pillars of lasting marriage
   before us thrust ~
One, of communication   
   The other, of trust

The two most important ingredients in a relationship and marriage. Trust and communication - who could ask for more! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Usually, you're right: Trust and communication do the trick for most marriages. Then again, I've heard that sometimes people marry for money. Can you imagine that?!! LOL. Smiles, Gershon

Communication and trust. No other combination can hold a candle to these two.

I got it wrong the first time but thankfully have now been happily married for 25 years. There is something to be said for experience.

Interesting, that we seem to have followed similar paths in marriage. I too got it wrong the first time, but have now been happily remarried for almost 25 years! :) gw
