"I [Name]  take you, __,
To be my lawfully wedded husband,
To have and to hold, from this day forward,
For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer,
In sickness and in health, until death do us part.... I DO"

We can now check off wedding from our to-do list
And update all our status to married
But what happens to the marriage ?

Why does something that sound so free leaves one so trap
I don't want to be together for my religion sake
It was not Jesus or  Mohammad that I married, no I married you
I don't want to be together for our children sake
I am unhappy and I know they are aware
So what is with the  masquerade?

I want to be together for our love sake
Because I have search the entire planet
Yet I can't  find another partner who is better than you sake
For I complete you and you complete me sake
We have an iron bond that can never be broken sake

Babe keep your wedding, if you are not ready for our marriage
Just for my peace of mind sake
