The makeup (early days)
Her side:
You came to me in the still of the night,
Just before I gave in to slumber, you slid in behind me,
And wrapped me in your arms, kissing my shoulder.
You told me that you're sorry for not empathizing more,
And validating my feelings.
I accepted and said that I too was sorry, also.
For ever doubting the love you had for me.
We rested well, and the fight was finally over.
His side:
When I took those vows before man and before God, I promised to love you,
Cherish you, protect you, and be a covering over you as Christ is to His church.
You are my bride of soul and heart as well as body.
I came to you in humility, and a soft answer turns away anger. And the fight was over.
You likewise showed a gentle spirit, no pride, and a willingness to also see my side.
Them together:
Sometimes it's not about being right,
It's about keeping the peace.
We bow down to God together,
And with humble spirits, we make peace with one another.
And truly, we enjoy the ride,
For the next chapter of our journey,
The messy, beautiful story of you and me.
