Marriage is more
than a contract.
It is about a commitment~
binding two people together
until death and, only, death.
We cannot negotiate
the terms of this promise.
There are bargaining chips,
but no person has more leverage
for both must forfeit their selfishness.
It is not a deal either party
can back out of...
the collateral~ two hearts joined
to one another and forged in
the flame of matrimony.
