How to make marriage work

Two become one

Blue and yellow combine to make the lovely colour green
It's neither blue nor yellow it's something distinctively in between

Can you say that green is not good because it's not blue?
Or, because it's not yellow it's really good for nothing too?

No, green is also beautiful it has it's rightful place too
being a wonderful blend between yellow and blue

When two become one, something new and distinct is created
One should not feel weak and useless or completely dominated

Two equal portions mixed together creates something new
as man and women blend together a marriage is created too

Like two colours blending together produces a new colour too
Two marriage mates when joined together become one not two

It's not like they lose themselves and their own unique personality
Each one contributes something special forming an original identity

Just like colours stay the same but change in the act of blending
Souls unite but something changes when it's qualities they're lending

One shares with the other their feelings and experiences in life too
Their lives they synchronize together with harmony they are infused

There is a mutual giving and receiving with a symbiotic benefit too 
A sympathetic relationship, a symmetrical orchestration of just two

To some , the idea of two becoming one, is miraculous it may seem
By not relinquishing their autonomy they will not realize their dreams

Compromise and loving consideration for the other person is the key
To open the door to a new oneness of spirit, that of marital harmony

Love your poem and your metaphors with colors and marital love, John. So much imagery in staying the same in name, yet blending to become one as merged. 7, Sandra

John, this is REALLY cool. I am into colors and the personality test called color code. Where blue is a symbol for the intimacy seekers and yellow is for the fun lovers. Together they make green. SO interesting to think of your poem in light of that personality test I am fond of (green is not one of the symbols for a personality type). There is red and that one with fun yellow makes orange. I am rambling. your poem just made me think of all that. It's a wonderful write.
