WHAT IT TAKES TO BE MARRIED

Marriage wasn’t made in Heaven
But Heaven built the institutional framework for marriage
On which the pillar of a home is rested upon
Right from the foundation of the world
But the question that pops up every now and then.

Is
What it takes to be married
Is it all these wishy-washy kinds of ideas
That plays out in our minds' head
Whenever we see married couples

Or is it beyond the wishy-washy stuff
That project married from the side view
Of things we see and were told better still read
In the books around us of flits of marriage books
Then transcend down to the audio messages around.

Does love meant to be
What it takes to be married
Or flits of living in a luxurious house
With the state of the art furniture and fitting
Or is there something else that isn’t in place?

Or does it boil down
To attributes and characters
That is the source of which
Marriage is built on in one married life
So to what end is that thing that key ingredients.

Of what it takes to be married
And still remain in marriage happily
As each day, months and years suffice
As one journey in Holy matrimony
Or is the answer so far away that one needs to take a journey to find it.

Does it go beyond love?
As love isn’t only the key ingredient
That keeps our homes and marriages going
Through many thick and thin toils and snares
What does it take to be married and stay in marriage?
