How to Stay Married 40 Years
08/19/2011

My husband and I are celebrating 40 years of marriage. People ask us how we've done it and we both agree, it's the morning kiss goodbye. Sounds strange I know, but it's the time we connect and commit every day and make a silent promise to be there for each other. Here is a poem I wrote about it:






The Morning Kiss Goodbye
By Evelyn G.

Breakfast Over
Tie on straight
We meet by the door
Can't be late

Thinking about
What lies ahead
A grouchy boss
Unmade beds

Fires to put out
Bills to pay
We need strength
To face the day

The Goodbye kiss
Don't rush this time
Smiling eyes
I'm yours, you're mine

Tousled hair
Fresh shaven face
My love, my partner
A warm embrace

Infusing strength
A daily pact
I'm here for you
You've got my back

We are one
A braided cord
A lingering kiss
Courage shored

I love you
