Man and Wife

I now pronounce you man and wife,

Now go and live together life,

And love each other, say a prayer,

Your love not get in disrepair.

For life, it has its ups and downs,

And romance may not hang around,

And prettiness not always be,

Especially when two become three.

Love depends not on emotions,

Love enhanced by our devotion,

Loyalty to vows now taken,

Faithfulness not now forsaken.

Giving of ourselves to other,

And not living undercover,

Honesty in all we offer,

Love each other that much stronger.
