Marriage!

Ok, let us agree
that we are of different gender
but can surely come together
Ok, let us agree
that though we come from different experiences
we share similar backgrounds
Ok, let us agree
that we both are imperfect
though we often seek perfection in each other
Ok, let us agree
that true perfection is found only in God
Ok, let us agree
that God made us specially and differently
but we are both loved by Him
Ok, let us agree
that you might prefer waking up late
and i might prefer waking up early
but we wake up all the same
Ok, let us agree
that even though we answer different surnames
we can share in one surname
and then our children could be many but with one surname
Ok, let us agree
that what you might despise
might not mean much to me
or what I might despise
might mean no less to you
Ok, let us agree
to both treasure what is dear to you
and also treasure what is dear to me
Ok, let us agree
to make sacrifices for one another
to ignore our many differences
and cherish our many strengths
Ok, let us finally agree
to march together
to that special altar
my hand in your hand
your hand in my hand
differences apart
hearts together.

Marriage

Sounds like a promise of compromise, a mutual agreement offered to also honor and obey. How did it turn out? Mutual respect equals 60 plus years together. Nice list.
