_A marriage_

Two people who live together
 Share not only the roof. They love each other For 
all time to come. They find each other In happy and in sad times. They have the 
same ideals, They feel the same pain. They make each other laugh. They fight and
make up, They hug and they kiss. They need each other. I am yet to find such a marriage.
All I have found is two people Staying together for reasons Other than love. When
love has flown away, When two people pretend, Life is a lie. We are not here To 
make falsehood a way of life.
