In Marital Doldrums...

Exchanging wedding rings in Your presence, I tied the nuptial knots before Thee, Lord; The Sacrament of Matrimony, hence Was blessed by You, as per Your living Word. The bliss of married life has seen its lows; ‘Who is to blame? ’ – no one really knows; Sometimes, we fail to understand the spouse, As human faults brings chaos to the house. Attempts to see things rightly had all failed; The wedding carriage had somehow derailed; But faith and prayers tried to set it right, As Adam, Eve came back from dark to light! The marriage struggled amidst earthly storms; Its holy raiment got eaten by worms; The Holy Spirit gives the healing touch; God’s saving grace returns its magic much. As marriages are made in heaven, so, One’s bickering must somehow vanish, oh! Unite a man, woman before Lord Christ – A promise we must keep, no matter – first. Copyright by Dr John Celes 6-6-2015
