Soul Mate

When you first met each other,
You asked, is this the one?
With others you've dated,
A soul mate, you found none.

You both were so attentive,
Each presenting your best side,
In time becoming comfortable,
Your flaws you couldn't hide.

With honeymoon period over,
You learn the person within,
You must decide, is this love,
Or are we just special friends?

It takes  God's intervention, 
To hold a marriage,  day by day,
To remember why you fell in love,
With fights, each wanting their own way.

Take time to be attentive, 
Presenting your best side,
Yes, there will be problems,
But true love will survive. 

Now you found your soul mate,
In God's eyes, you are one,
Respect each other's feelings,
Seek first, His will be done.
