You Have Become Mine Forever.

You have become mine forever.
Yes, we have become partners.
I have become yours.
Hereafter, I cannot live without you.
Do not live without me.
Let us share the joys.
We are word and meaning, unite.
You are thought and I am sound.
May the nights be honey-sweet for us.
May the mornings be honey-sweet for us.
May the plants be honey-sweet for us.
May the […]

The Secret To Giving Your Spouse a Great Gift!

OK, while writing my “Go-To” Gift Lists the other night, I noticed something. A key… THE key, if you will, to getting your spouse a good gift. I almost said the perfect gift, but perfect is quite the claim. I’ll say “good” and leave it at that.
Now, if you in fact have found the perfect […]

Tag-Teaming the Croup

From the “Yet-another-reason-it’s-really-nice-to-be-married” Department comes this item:
On Wednesday I had to be on the road a little after 4:00am in order to spend a 12 hour-day on site with a client. While it has already been established that I’m the early bird of the house, I maintain 4am is an ungodly hour no matter what […]

A Red Red Rose

O my Luve’s like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my Luve’s like the melodie
That’s sweetly played in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry:
Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ […]

Time and Again

Time and again, however well we know the landscape of love,
and the little church-yard with lamenting names,
and the frightfully silent ravine wherein all the others
end: time and again we go out two together,
under the old trees, lie down again and again
between the flowers, face to face with the sky.
~Rainer Maria Rilke

Holiday Alert! Sweetest Day Is October 20th

“What’s Sweetest Day?” you ask. Think late-October Valentine’s Day. It’s a bit of a thing here in the Midwest.
Turns out it wasn’t crafted by Hallmark as part of an effort to sell more cards as I’d always assumed. Close, though. It was concocted in 1921 by a consortium of Cleveland area candy manufacturers. Here’s the […]

Marriage by Wendell Berry

An excerpt I found elsewhere:
It is to be broken. It is to be
torn open. It is not to be
reached and come to rest in
ever. I turn against you,
I break from you, I turn to you.
We hurt, and are hurt,
and have each other for healing.
It is healing. It is never whole.

Music To Get Hitched By

This spring Kerri and I had the privileged of attending a long-time friend’s wedding. As a wedding favor, they handed out a compilation CD full of songs from bands they’d seen while dating. I’ve just gotten around to giving it a good listen, and it’s wonderful. Can’t think of a single song I dislike, but […]
