Best Marriages Poems
I wish parents should express their motive behind hurrying
and forcing their young girls into marriage!
And what is wrong with our legislators and law enforcement angencies
who can afford to turn a blind eye to the torture experiencing young girls!
Honestly,the practice has led to many premature babies;
and deaths of our young girls during child birth,due to excessive loss
of blood and labour complications!
They used to dream of a white picket fence
Around a little white three bedroom house
There were times at first when they had their doubts
Life together just didn't make much sense
But they scraped and struggled with no pretense
Both tried mightily to be a really good spouse
Children were born and love started to shout
They switched sides once on offense then defense
Then bought a brick home on top of a hill
With four bedrooms and a two car garage
Everybody had their own private room
The old house seemed to always have a chill
The white picket fence was just a mirage
Seems their marriage was just a mirage too

“Now we see but a poor reflection
as in a mirror;
then we shall see face to face.
Now I know in part;
then - I shall know fully,
even as I am fully known”

Marriages are for when the husbands and the wives are determined to stay together for what
will be the rest of their lives. These people have been married to each other since they
day the men and the women met through their relatives or old friends from either high
school or college. It seems that when a man and a woman have read their vows to each
other, they don't ever break. And once the men and the women are married to each other,
there's no more going to bars, no more going to any of those dating websites, and no more
enjoying the bachelor/bachelorette life, ever. Ones who commit infidelity will allow the
marriage to have ended in a divorce. Marriages also mean that these two people mustn't
cheat on each other with other men/women, even if he/she is as attractive as the current
husband/current wife is. Sometimes most marriages will last at least four months, but some
of them will have lasted for more that sixty to eighty years. The children will have been
born after these two people (a man and a woman) have been married to each other,
especially when they're planning on starting an actual family. Why, this is starting to
look like an episode of "The Newlywed Game" hosted by Robert "Bobby" Eubanks, Carnie
Wilson, and Sherri Sheppard. Those marriages are not just a unity of a man and a woman,
marriages are a unity of same-sex couples (two men and/or two women), especially when
they're about adopt some children of all foreign countries, including Haiti or China. But
even if all married couples have to deal with financial situations, monthly bills, the
arguments, or whatever, these two people must know that they still love each other and
must always be supportive of what their plans for the future are. And no matter the
struggle or other guys and/or women that will have interfered in their marriages that day
in and day out, all married couples must tell the others that their happily married and to
have spared them the embarrassment in the near future. And if these marriages were to last
until the end of time, that would be great for all married couples. Newlyweds, too.
MARRIAGES
For long I cherish its trees and flowers
As it forms my roots from dead dreams
So my aim is to continue from where folks retires it
Marry my Golden Idol
Marry my love
Have children and be a father
But now the dream is a battle
So I am on a battlefield
And I ask dear, who is the foe?
here, they are look at them, the enemies
Thousand and half Ghana in cedis
Twenty four bottles of Schnapps for her
Two Singer branded sewing machines for her
Twenty four pairs of panties for her
Twelve pairs of ladies shoes for her
Six stacks of portmanteau bags for her
One golden ring for the day in dream
One maxi size towel for dear father-in-law
Two pairs of headkerchief for dear mother-in-law
Yet many are hidden behind the smiles
Then tears soon gathers its momentum
Soon to flow free
But I am not afraid
Only I wonder what the future holds
Shall I be married
When in this day! its now a trade
But I blame my folks, my parents
why?
I should have been a woman to make them rich
As this is the song of the day
Marriage for SALE!
Marriage for sale!
Not for paupers
Not for the mean
Not for the poor
Yet Still we shall endure, pay the dowry, overcome the enemy.
What’s Happening to Marriages Today?
I was listening to someone just the other day…
And I couldn’t believe what he had to say!
He had left his wife and children for another!
She was young enough to be his daughter!
Here they were, “in love” and holding hands!
Hoping to soon, get their “wedding bands!”
They were pretending that this was so “cool.”
Living now by their own “set of rules!”
How sick and disgusting this is getting to be!
Is this something that many can’t see?
God gave us Adam and Eve to become one.
To bear fruit through daughters and sons!
He gave us marriage as holy vows are made.
Not to march in an “adulterous parade!”
We are treading on very dangerous ground!
Faithfulness and commitment
are scarcely found!
The very definition of marriage is changing!
As the family unit is always rearranging!
Our only hope is in Jesus! And him alone!
Let’s promote his love! Into our hearts and home!
Let’s allow his love to be our heart’s glue!
And bring new meaning to the words; “I love you!”
May his love bind our hearts and lives together!
And remain faithful to each other forever!
By Jim Pemberton
The dolls wed in mock marriage
And lived together
Till they were in rags
And forgotten forever
They too wedded when doll like
Dreamed together like none else
But their marriage a mock
Only lasted for a while
Mock marriage which is of the two?
The dolls’ or of those who are dolls
Who wait for time to turn them into rags
Or choose to be rags before their times???????
MARRIAGES
Governor Gerry Brown marries Amanda Rice
She becomes Amanda Brown-Rice - look!
David Soul and Marguerita Cook? She’s become a Soul-Cook
Stephen Fry and Amanda Fish -- the Fry-Fish couple - nice!
One of the Brothers Grimm married a girl called Betsy Reaper
Soon she was a Grimm-Reaper to be seen.
He’s Mr. Black. She’s Ms green, now turned Black-Green,
A close friend of John Windows-Peeper.
Going round to visit the Bird-Trappers tonight?
No honey, thought I’d pop in and see the Trouser-Wetters.

NOTE
All these unusual surnames really exist and many more besides; and the
trend to double-barreling names sometimes does produce funny results .
Marriages last if ,both spouses remember,
to fight to save the marriage.
Not to fight to win a disagreement.
Love each other,make each other,
make a commitment to each other.
One can not love for two.
Like dancing,it just takes two to tango!
So many marriages filled with sadness and sorrow.
Love is not of importance any longer.
Loneliness seems to be a common feeling.
Marriages are meant to be a whole,
They should be filled with love and joy.
What about the vows we spoke?
We agreed for better or worse,
For richer or poorer,
In sickness and in health,
And we agreed in the presence of God.
It was told, “That the two shall be as one”.
Years have now passed by,
And the vows have no meaning.
Marriages are only half
When the one returns to two.
Why can’t you love me wholly?
Why can’t you commit to me wholly?
You may give a hug or a peck,
You might say “I Love You” every now and then.
But your bed is not my bed,
Your life is not shared with my life.
The television serves as your companion.
My words are silent to your listening.
You have buried my heart under the doormat.
Why can’t you love me wholly and completely?
I am lost and alone in a half marriage,
Sadness fills my aching heart,
Silent tears fill my eyes,
Half of me is now gone.
I know we are not the same any more,
We have changes in many ways,
But why should our love?
Is not love supposed to grow with time?
I want to be loved as me.
I want this pain to end, to smile again.
Why can’t we be as one again?
A broken heart is a broken home… a broken society
We owe each other a sincere love that will last long
Why should happy homes indulge in this impropriety?
I cry for the blessed brides that left the base they belong
Just because they can’t cope with stress, sweats and strains
I weep for those good grooms that weren’t steady and strong
Oh, how are some mighty marriages… plundered by pains?
A once happy home turns lifeless, loveless…a deadly desert
They couldn’t hold-on and together harvest their golden grains.
Why on earth do we have to break these lovely, happy hearts!
When you have once vowed, in sun and rain to be friend forever?
Why should you break that colorful cord, you are now far… apart
What would become of the seeds sown and do not train together?
Thanks to those continued to care… broken, but they do not bother!
BARTERED
By:Clement A. Chipande
I knew I was surrounded by inhumane perverts
I guarded my innocence with my entire sincere heart
I rebuffed snitchy men for fear it might get hurt
I sniffed every compliment for a stench of flirt
I did this for the dignity of what lied under my skirt
I focused on my daring dream to become a law expert
I knew it in my bones that I did my needful part
I was introduced by my father to a man
I was too young to grasp what he had done
I was forced to leave my parents' house
I was bartered away for two cows
I was bewildered by two 'Hows'
How could my own father have my bright future slain?
How could two cows outvalue a mother's nine months of pain?
I became pregnant before I even saw my first moon
I became a mother before I giggled like a grown girl
I bore a baby girl before I even got rid of my juvenile dolls
After expriencing the near-death agony of giving birth
I doubted if it was Mum who introduced me to Earth
I swore to always fight for my daughter till death
I waited for darkness to shower
I wrapped my baby in a shawl
I escaped cautiously to the shore
I prayed hard for Moses's miracle to manifest
Instead, I was grabbed by gangs in a rape contest
I knew, to most of them, I was the first
I was tortured
I was injured
I was bullied
I was humiliated
Hadn't they covered up my mouth,
Hadn't I been too busy with the terror in my baby's eyes,
I would have told them that
The monster I was first introduced to by my father
Hadn't only turned me into a premature mother
He had also made me embark on life extenders
Alas! Dear fate,
Had you only glanced at me with your right eye,
I wouldn't have been BARTERED off!

Q divorced U,
Marrying W,
In key boards,
Why double U,
Not enough one U?
Motives for marriages are well known!
She- want to climb on husband's neck.
His dreams are soaring much below,
Somewhere around lady's legs.
I still remember that day
Just like another arranged marriage scenario
Boys family was coming to see me
After they came elders said why don't you go in and talk
we went in and talked about spiritualism
He told me about his Guru and I listened mesmerized
After they left everyone asked me you were talking for 45 minutes
What were you talking?
I was stunned
45 minutes had passed away like few seconds
When elders asked me what have you decided?
I said I am not sure
It seems too good to be true
I can't believe it
There must be some mistake in it
He is so very much like me in thoughts and passions
I am scared that I will be making a hasty decision
All laughed at me
Next day he came with his sister to meet me
He gave me a book to read.
A day later I was jittery
They had not yet called up and said yes
What if they didn't like me?
Everyone said if it were a no he will not gift you a book
I was not sure
Finally by the end of the day they called up to say yes
I jumped in joy
It seemed like a dream come true
Afterwards when all asked me details of his looks I had no answer
I hadn't noticed
I didn't know how much he earned
I didn't know anything much about him yet was overjoyed to be marrying him
Now my husband says moment I saw you I had decided
It was love at first sight for me
You won me over by your enchanting smile
It is said marriages are made in heaven
I believe now!
