In a marriage relationship, men want to be honored and women want to be loved. We all know how to do the opposite. But, when love and honor are fused, then all is well in the nuclear family.
There once was couple…

There once was a couple, who lived on a Rock,
In a town they called Steadfast, in the middle of the block.
Their home was built firmly, out of truth and with love,
For bricks and for mortar, they inquired above.
**
Now to this family, four children were born,
Then grandchildren and great-grandchildren like fields of corn.
Each life was planted firmly, in truth and with love,
For patience and for peace, they inquired above.
**
Sixty years of cherished memories, one frame at a time,
Help to bring into sharp focus matrimony sublime,
And capture the image of God’s great gift of love.
For the grace to endure, they inquired above.
**
“All things work together”, ‘tis easy to say,
But the couple on the Rock proved it true in just this way:
They lived sixty years in the vow of true love;
They put the Lord first and they inquired above.
**
The point of this story, I think you’ll agree,
Is a marriage made in heaven, a marriage meant to be,
It has weathered the storms and cared for a flock –
There once was a couple, who lived on a Rock…
