Premium MemberRecipe Four The Butterfly Leaving The Innocent Cocoon

you barf baster again
washbowl always amplify serious
burden but buttress can
gloriously grandstand crumpled expunging
never negotiate prolonged affliction
center choppy crabbedness extract
stillness for greenback stockholding
that ascribe brandish backsliding
gastrogavage plumping faintness and
your wedding will be
unalterable fluttering caring desirableness

Premium MemberSoftly, She Lobbed the Serve 'Cross My Heart

  
     Softly, she lobbed the serve across my heart
         it fell harmlessly on my arm
      Intended not to tear me apart
         only a harbinger of harm  

     Her game gained traction soon enough
        darts and arrows whizzing ‘cross the net
     Stung my forehead where I once was tough
        her ringing accusations captured the first set

     My counsel – my coach – gave me his advice
        not to fight fire with fire, which never works
     He’d seen it fail not once, but twice
        wouldn’t let me look like a jerk… 

     Alas and alack, to no avail, as a forehand smash
        won her the trophy, the kids, and all my cash

Premium MemberThis Is What We Do At My House

A successful marriage includes a sense of humor and trust.
For your children’s sakes, respect and unity is an absolute must.
Don’t be angry with your spouse, listen with a caring ear.
Review often how you fell in love, do it eagerly each year.

A successful marriage is not understood by any others.
Do not take advice from your friends, sisters or your brothers.
Plan some date nights, dress up, go out and howl with your spouse.
When you come home, your happiness should fill up your house.

Premium MemberMarriage of Sorts

Wife: when I met her first, she was a dream
me: she said if rich we could be a team

father-in law: looked like would die next day
me- he gave consent if I mend my way

mother in law: love her don’t get me wrong
me:without her, marriage would be a song

brother- in law: walked with Eastwood hat
me: I could quickly see he was a tw*t

Sister-in-law: young pretty in her vest
me: If I had wed her would have been best

All: So this life is full of luckless fate,
me:if you are planning wedding- please wait!!

love: If you are young looking for dates
advice: stay home spend time with mates!

Premium MemberGiving Advice

Giving Advice Written: by Miracle Man 9-9-2019 Ever been asked the question, can love survive when like is waning? Can the air be sucked out of the room, and in one gasp, it be over? Hoping is never responsible for a happening, It takes hard work, compromise, and communication. The goddess of chance, sits astride a stick horse, When love becomes as wind whispering through dry grass. You’re “wasting matches trying to light wet wood” There is none so isolated as those who don’t converse, Who live together but yet apart. Lord, help me to answer this kind of question Tom

Premium MemberSimple Advice

He came to his dad on the eve of his wedding asking
“Dad, any last minute advice?”
“Any words of wisdom?”
“And please can you be precise.”

“When it comes to your wife,” Dad smiled
“I have a few insights that might apply:
Know when to make her laugh 
and know when to let her cry.”

Let her know you will do your best 
to never make her frown
to encourage and support her…
and never let her down.

And finally tell her she need not be afraid 
because you want it known…
you will always be beside her…
and she’ will never be alone.

Premium MemberThe Road To the Altar

A young lad may fear
   the coming years
How will he make a living

His elders might
   impart this advice
Increase your charitable giving

A young lass may despair
   that Cupid cares
to target her betrothed

Her elders might 
   impart this advice
Feed the hungry, the naked clothe

Just busy yourself with good deeds
   God, and matchmakers, will pay heed

Premium MemberA Mighty Fine Rag

The Wall Street Journal's a mighty fine rag
   Yet its columns can make your spirits sag

Recently, as I was set to retire
   Its advice I read and nearly expired

About whether or not to marry
   Based on tax advantages ~ How scary!

Premium MemberAdvice For the Bride and Groom

Forgiveness is key.
Remember this:
Agree to disagree, and you’ll
Get along fine. Say
I love you often.
Leave room for the other to breathe.
Each night go to bed with a kiss.

Hear each other! Listen intently!
Eagerly await your spouse’s arrival.
Attend to the marriage, never
Rescind the contract nor threaten it.
Train your children by your example.
Serenade each other with kind words.

FRAGILE glass shatters lives. Protect your
HEARTS like you would an heirloom figurine.

Premium MemberMy Love Poem To My Love

Thank you for all you are
the little things that you do
for the advice that you give
and the deep love that is you

Many a time we've shared
so many memories to remember
looking back over all the years
right back to that pizza in September

In the ups and downs of our life
we always come together as one
because divinely sought and drawn
to be always looking unto God's son

I hope I have been
the very best to you
for my finest decision
was saying to you I do

So me love you
you love me
so together in love
we are set free

(A poem to my love Christine of 23 years marriage and of all that she means to me.)

never go to bed angry -
work it out with love

Two TVs required

     One for him to eyeball sports

          Hers for home shopping
