The Intricacies of Vows

A couple of forevermore #lovebeforemarriage ….

How difficult is it to be with a person whose will is iron clad?

Opinions that roll off of their tongue with total disregard as to whether or not you are happy or sad

Mad or Glad

Rain or shine

How hard is it to be with an individual with a spine?

We made promises to be together for better or worse

At times we’ve realized that we should have asked that they go into detail before we repeated that verse

Is it hard to love an ever evolving human who strives for perfection?

When she can’t stick the landing instantly she is eclipsed by depression?

For richer or poorer rolled off our tongues unconscious as to what that really meant

Had we known, would the money we paid for our marriage certificate had been spent?

Daily reminders that love isn’t JUST a four letter word

It’s an incredulous action verb

Monotonous routines that often lack luster

Performed with human inconsistency that will leave a person flustered

How happily ever after is your forever??

We traded our I’s for Us

Left the concepts of other lovers in the dust

As we embarked on this journey of love, friendship, and family

Merging homes, finances all in an attempt to create our own dynasty

Is it what you thought?

Sickness, health, and death don’t show up

I’m not ready to depart!

This dream is not deferred

Our eyes aren’t wide shut

I never ran from a challenge in my life!

Savagely we swing at all the odds

Trickery, life, she blind sides us

Leaving bruises

I offer no excuses

Tag teaming strategically until her will can’t help but bend

I am a warrior sworn to defend

I ask you my King

How hard is it to be with a person who never gives in?
