"My word is my bond" so many live by this rule, it's true until they forget the meaning of the words "I DO"!

Whether it be 10, 20 or 30 years later, words spoken fade as the memories of a honeymoon spent making love and pregnant promises were spoken as the sun sets and again rises.

When the hardest part of the day was going separate ways to tackle the day, when calling 3, 4, 5x before the first break and smiling at the silly things we would say.

Remember looking at the clock as time dragged, aching to touch and caress and be naked next to your love, chest to breast recounting the days worst after making love in the foyer satiated for the moment, hot and starving we inch our way to the kitchen too tired to cook, we spoon cereal into our mouths stealing glances flirting like schoolyard kids.

30 years later it might just be the failing of my memories that would separate you from me, Alzheimer's is a sad thing a killer of unity.
I say I could never forget you in a million years, next day you introduce yourself again oh my love by the end of a hopeless night it's your smell, your touch that brings my mind to surface even if it's for a second its worth the daily effort. This is the natural way whether you remember or not your word is still intact.

Is a vow still a vow if violated? I ask myself if abuse is present in any shape or form to what extent is breaking our vow. Is it the raising of a hand or a word spoken way too loud or is it one not coming home at night when they do the scent of another confirms what you know is true.
Is it enough to walk out even though your still head over heels in love?

All I can say is the strength in a marriage relies on 3 things:

1. Unity is only that if it's you, your mate and God
2. Communication means talking not egotistical accusations.
3. *** and more ***, Sensual, Steaming Sacrificial ***.
If you said "I DO" make sure you get counsel and spend time with each other, whatever differences most can be worked out but there are a few
that just can't be worked through. Don't overlook things with the concept of we can fix them later, because you only deceive yourself and head straight for disaster, *** may be great but there's always the morning after
