Marriage. The roots are deep.  The covenant is solid.    
Love is sweet.  Life is hard.  And God is good.
—John Piper  
 
1.  
time to be wed  
and to be wedded  
availeth much  
of much availing  
depreciate  
appreciation  
marriage drops dead  
fractures prevailing  
 
2.  
married the mind  
married the body  
married the pains  
and all the fury  
married the joys  
married the courage  
married the gains  
and all the glory  
 
3.  
self-dead one spouse  
new life the other  
happy the home  
each life the better  
inject the fun  
and all the punny  
bear both the chains  
and every fetter  
 
4.  
open yourself  
and let your spouse in  
secret your thoughts  
wander the wonder  
perpetuate  
communication  
keep slanting eyes  
from roving yonder  
 
5.  
fitness and health  
magnet appearance  
complacency  
spouse hesitation  
intimacy  
sacred ovation  
eternity  
true destination
