Marriage- A Divine Bondage

Two souls' whole-minded consent,

Results in pleasant marriage event,

Together life must be mirthfully spent,

So, a love-agreement must be present.

After a carefully made decision,

Emerges holy marriage occasion,

This once-in-a-life unification,

Naturally needs great celebration.

Give no room to any false imagination,

Adopt the method of practical application,

At the time of possible thoughts' congestion,

For a solution, seek the partner's suggestion.

Sharing and caring gives life meaning,

Having ego will be invariably ruining,

Unto the last, love must be reigning,

Showing affection means only gaining.

Soft words affectionately spoken,

Will mend a heart that is broken,

Acts must be very sportively taken,

Otherwise, life's foundation is broken.

Love must be perpetual,

It must also be mutual,

Besides being actual,

Love feeling is spiritual.

Understand the other person's limitation,

About pains and gains, give intimation,

Help sincerely in love-plant's cultivation,

Trust in pure love and not in any imitation.

Both must together cooperate,

And avoid actions that separate,

Hurting acts mustn't be deliberate,

With love, hearts must vibrate.

Through the process of calm expression,

Make the other come for reconciliation,

Compromise is superior to retaliation,

Suppression leads only to depression.

Very very important is this holy marriage,

Carefully enter into that lovely bondage,

Confusion must be kept at zero percentage,

Successfully tackle responsible parentage!
