Marriage,
a life stage
bondage to those not prepared
a cage to who's forced into it

but life's very bliss
the legal joining of a man and woman
the naming of a couple
the binding of two
a convertion of togetherness
mathematically becoming one

in oneness of mind
a new home is built
for better for worst
acceptance of a bride
"the groom is mine
to love and to cherish"
same is to the groom
an oath of love
recited in public

Marriage, a bliss
for better for worst
till death do us apart...
