Love In Stages
He sleeps so still
She thinks about her life
Their lives are not a thrill
For the little housewife
Communication has worn away
She wishes for other things
She continues to pray
She knows there's been no sin
Marriage is a lot of work
It's not like in the movies
He can sometimes be a jerk
He can be a bit moody
They still love each other
Problems are all around
They remain married lovers
Money issues bring them down
Every year there are changes
Some days are really great
Life goes in many stages
They're each other's mate
She wishes for more romance
He has a lot of stress
She'd like to share a dance
He's shy and does not confess
They're in a committed life
They're married for many years
He's her husband; she's his wife
Their vows are very clear
She thinks about her life
Their lives are not a thrill
For the little housewife
Communication has worn away
She wishes for other things
She continues to pray
She knows there's been no sin
Marriage is a lot of work
It's not like in the movies
He can sometimes be a jerk
He can be a bit moody
They still love each other
Problems are all around
They remain married lovers
Money issues bring them down
Every year there are changes
Some days are really great
Life goes in many stages
They're each other's mate
She wishes for more romance
He has a lot of stress
She'd like to share a dance
He's shy and does not confess
They're in a committed life
They're married for many years
He's her husband; she's his wife
Their vows are very clear

Love and marriage are hard work, that's why so many fail, but if you are committed it can be very rewarding. Terrific piece

as one who is divorced I know all too well that when communication breaks down
no way the marriage can survive
Perfect description though
and reminds me of a married couple who have been my friends for 30+ years and I lived with them 4 times
and have observed much of what You have spilled here.

Thank you for the lovely comment. Marriage is a journey...a roller coaster ride. Some good and bad days. It's never like how we wish it could be. Stress and money plays a huge roll in it...xo

Well-penned, and super relatable...
Although I'm not married, being in a domestic partnership can be tough at times, but can also be very rewarding too. It's exactly as you described. Money problems, good days, bad days - through thick and thin, you'll be there.
Thanks for sharing, Mysteria!

Hey Mysteria,
I really like the way you write. You've got your own style, and it's always interesting, and thoughtful, and about life in general. You're really cool. Look forward to seeing you on here.
Matthew.
