Marriage must be equal parts of give & take
Take the time to consider what's at stake
When you make the decision to take a wife
You want her to stay yours thoughout life.

Secrets kept can tear you apart
It's best to be honest from the start
To make your marriage a success
Pray together and ask God to bless.

Please her without sacrificing your happiness
If you lose yourself, life will be a mess
Cheer her up when she's feeling blue
And make sure she'll do the same for you.

The road ahead will have many bumps
And both of you will take your lumps
Be true to each other, don't lie and scheme
But above all else, you must work as a team.
