Like a bolt from the Blue, Wilferd Peterson's poem encapsulates an ideal to which we ALL aspire
A good marriage must be created
In marriage, the little things are the big things
It is never being too old to hold hands
It is remembering to say 'I love you' at least once each day
It is never going to sleep angry
It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives
It is standing together and facing the world
It is forming a circle of love that gather in the whole family
It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways
It is having the capacity to forgive and forget
It is giving each other an atmosphere, in which each can grow
It is a common search for the good and the beautiful
It is not only marrying the right person, it is being the right partner
It is discovering what marriage can be, at its best
