Marriage is part business, part romance;
Part contract, part licensure, part dance.
Why marriage? Isn't love enough?
Not really, when the sea gets rough.
Those who don't control their fate
Learn quickly to manipulate.
What makes a marriage work is work;
Happiness is not a perk.
In marriage, the stone fortress of
Each sovereign must be breached by love.
