Excellent

This poem, Marriage Vows, reminds me of my family, living through five decades of a marriage that was mismatched from the beginning. My parents would never divorce as it was not in my mother's faith to do so and it would make my father look bad, I suppose. They stayed married and miserable to the end.

I have finally come to terms with it now. I know I'm not alone in this type of situation. We were too young, and didn't know ourselves well, but the birds and the bees took over! Thank you very much for 'opening up' to commiserate with our kids' feelings.. I appreciate your review and fine rating.Trisha

This is a sad write and some marriages have no peace inside them and some enjoy the arguing. My Mother and Father argued a lot when I was growing up and I was afraid to get married because I didn't want to live in the same atmosphere. Your write is raw and honest and I wish you well for your future, love Dolly x

Thanks Dolly. It did have the same effect on one our kids, never married. We stayed in the marriage 'for the kids', but now know it was a mistake. You are damed if you do, damed if you don't! Thanks for your kind review and stars. Hugs, Trish

That is so true Trish, it's hard to know which path to take in the end x x x

This was one of my biggest regrets. Too young, too soon. The same for him. Thanks again, your understanding is appreciated.
