A marriage starts within the mind, and not within the heart.
Many miss the point of this, and so they drift apart.
Commitment is the word not there, and passion’s not enough
To get you through those trying times, when loving is so tough.
The tie that binds the two as one, is one that will not fail,
For when the trials and turmoil come, it always will prevail.
The question’s not to stay or leave, but how to find the cure.
The problems come and then they go, but through it they endure.
For when they say the words "I do," those words can’t be ignored,
They don’t just mean, "I’ll hang around until I get too bored."
For in the making of that bond the two become as one,
The union of the two of them should never be undone.
"Hold on," you say, "now wait a sec, you mean there’s no excuse,
No reason in this world at all to turn each other loose?
Aren’t there some things just so bad, there’s only one recourse?
Pack a bag and move on out, then file for a divorce."
Well maybe so, there might be some, but if you look around,
The reasons people split apart just don’t seem very sound.
It’s easier to run than work, so they just drift away
To find another to try out, it’s easy, what the hey!
So when you’re standing there and you’re about to say, "I do,"
Take another minute please, to think the whole thing through.
To build a life together now, for better or for worse,
You have to live it as you go, there’s no way to rehearse.
So just resolve right here, right now, to make it last and last.
The life you share together’s in the future, not the past.
You face the problems that you have, you never run away,
And thus the union is preserved, for now and for al’way.
