Pledge of Holy Matrimony

It is not only our parents who has gone through the pledge of matrimony
That through death do they part
Through thick and thin
Through health and sickness
Through rich and poor ....

Even young couples officially going steady
Not only is it sexual consenting
It is somehow walking on the beginning path of matrimony
Despite the honeymoon period is almost over
The intensity will kicks in
A serious relationship is about to start.

The fall out of relationship is often blamed on passion fizzle
The same old sizzle has already been put off slowly
But reckon the truth is it is just too hard to adapt to commitment
Relationship and dating is just 2 different part of the continents
Just like heaven and hell, just not the same
A rough patch, a tedious journey, a bumpy road ahead
Couple just got scare and bail out half way
How sad, but how true is the fact.

It just to be a ring to bound all commitments
A paper evidence, framed as evidence
But nothing is ever so solid, as a strong foundation
That is not rocked by adversaries and obstacles
But held on strong with persistence and persevere
Forget about the ring, lose the paper chase
Just concentrate on building inner strength and patience
For that is truly what is needed in the pledge of holy matrimony.

The pledge of the 21st century holy matrimony ......
"Through the down of internet line
Through the loops of all communications
Through the concrete jungle of modern civilization
Through the thinning of the ozone layers
Through the expiration of health insurance
Through all illness and sickness
Through the ends of credit cards
Through to the final cents of bank savings
Holding onto the most precious memories engraved through time
Living onto the precious love, given so divine
I pledge to stay by your side"
