Put God In Your Marriage

The love of newlyweds is special and new Their future is bright and fresh as dew Full of promise and their hope is bright No problem too big that they can't fight. The first two years, the threat is real So say the experts, of win or fail But these two are tried and true The threat has come and gone; their love is still new. The first five years have come and gone Through trials and tribulations, they're still as one Their love for each other is just as bright Their dreams of the future is looked on with delight. Six years, seven years, eight years go past Dreams of the future now don't last Even though they say they love one another They look at each other and silently wonder. The fights and arguments begin to increase And the love for each other begin to decrease Where once they considered the feelings of each other Now it's too much trouble; they don't want to bother They've never gone to church; God is a stranger They go on through life, not seeing the danger They silently ask themselves, "should this marriage continue Or should we just stop it now, it's no longer new?" Once they would agree; now it's "You're wrong, I'm right!" Not willing to budge, but preparing to fight They forgot true love and the vows they once canted Now all they do is take each other for granted. They look to the future, now it looks bleak Past fights and emotional scars have made them weak Without God there to help them grow They decide to quit, divorce and go. If only they would have invited Jesus from the very start Into their lives, and marriage and hearts There still would be struggles, there and here But God's Word says, Not To Fear Your hearts He will refresh daily in love made new And give you wisdom to know what to do On Him all your fears and troubles do you cast And your marriage will be all joy and will continue to last. What I have spoken here is tried and true My love for my wife is just like new Over thirteen years we have been wed And by God's Word we are still led. So please, you newlyweds and everyone reading this now Invite God into your hearts, and you will see how Your love for each other will always burn bright As long as you continue in God's Holy Light.
