Because to the depths of me, I long to love one person,
With all my heart, my soul, my mind, my body
Because I need a forever friend to trust with the intimacies of me,
Who wont hold them against me,
Who loves me when Im unlikable,
Who sees the small child in me, and
Who looks for the divine potential of me
Because I need to cuddle in the warmth of the night
With someone who thanks God for me,
With someone I feel blessed to hold
Because marriage means opportunity
To grow in love in friendship
Because marriage is a discipline
To be added to a list of achievements
Because marriages do not fail, people fail
When they enter into marriage
Expecting another to make them whole
Because, knowing this,
I promise myself to take full responsibility
For my spiritual, mental and physical wholeness
I create me,
I take half of the responsibility for my marriage
Together we create our marriage
Because with this understanding
The possibilities are limitless.
