Today we join to become one.
Together we will work to make our dreams come true.
Through life’s challenges, we will hold each other up
Endeavoring to overcome all obstacles
and find happiness in every moment
I will be yours in plenty and in want
in sickness and in health
in failure and in triumph.
I will cherish and respect you,
comfort and encourage you,
be open with you,
be goofy and cry with you,
For… Real love is forever.

The Key to Love
by Anon, 1st century China
"The key to love is understanding ...
The ability to comprehend not only the spoken word,
but those unspoken gestures,
the little things that say so much by themselves.
The key to love is forgiveness ....
to accept each others faults and pardon mistakes,
without forgetting, but with remembering
what you learn from them.
The key to love is sharing ...
Facing your good fortunes as well as the bad, together;
both conquering problems, forever searching for ways
to intensify your happiness.
The key to love is giving ...
with out thought of return,
but with the hope of just a simple smile,
and by giving in but never giving up.
The key to love is respect ...
realizing that you are two separate people,
with different ideas;
that you don't belong to each other,
that you belong with each other, and share a mutual bond.
The key to love is inside us all ...
It takes time and patience to unlock all the ingredients
that will take you to its threshold;
it is the continual learning process
that demands a lot of work ...
but the rewards are more than worth the effort ...
and that is the key to love"
