The Joys of Married Life

Marriage has it's ups and it's downs But it far exceeds the alternative A lonely life without love and affection Love's one of life's true superlatives Some days we have heated discussions That's how it was meant to be Then she does something ever so sweet And you forget why you disagreed It isn't always going to be clear sailing But if the bond is truly strong It's worth the struggles times over If you're lucky it will end up lifelong The male tendency is to play the field But trust me life's way too short To become involved at playing the field Probably means some time in court Not sure the ladies will like my analogy It's the lesser of two evils as they say Oh boy I think I may have done it this time Must convince Cathie it's just a cliche

truly, Jack, love is one of life's superlatives. Hubby and I, too, often forget why we disagree...seems trivial at times given the grand scheme of things. Best to focus on the love and our similarities and go from there. A splendid write! Have a pleasant weekend, Sara

Jack, And it is so as you so aptly said. A truth in happiness found, sharing true happiness, far afield. -Richard

After many many years of a happiiied married life I have come to this conclusion! A life without the love of someone to share the happy times and the down times leaves us incomplete! Sharing makes life complete! Many will disagree...
