Work
When you first meet you
work hard to make your relationship grow. You must continue
to do this after the I do’s. For this is when the real work
begins

When wrong don’t forget
to say I’m sorry. Even for the small thing, for they can
grow and cause you sorrow.

Have the capacity to
forgive and forget, let it go. I know sometimes its hard
but don’t hang on to anger,
hurt or disappointment
for they only keep you from love and joy.

and things you do. Show your appreciation of each other. A
kiss on the cheek,
wink of the eye and a
smile. Thank you for being mine goes a long way.
