To Be In Sync

In married life, I really think
It helps a lot to be in sync
For if your wavelengths seem to match,
There won't be holes you'll have to patch.

Your lifestyle choices should agree
Though even that won't guarantee
Smooth sailing in the years ahead
(Which most expect when they are wed).

When differences at times appear
And one of you've slipped out of gear,
You've got to find a middle place
Which both of you will then embrace.

For big decisions must be shared;
Together, then, you'll be prepared
To face the future as a team.
(It's not as hard as it may seem.)

Yours is very sound advice, Ilene! Give and take, and meeting half way are what keeps the balance. #7 // paul

Just a note. I think you meant face in second to last line. Insightful words from someone who surely must know.
