Young and starry eyed,
Marriage can take you,
Completely by surprise.
Visions of a fine romance,
Thinking it's some sort of fairy tale,
Well no chance!
I don't believe in the perfect marriage,
Love and harmony,
All that stuff,
It has to be worked on,
Take the smooth with the rough.
I wanted to be like Cinderella,
But somehow,
I ended up like Cruella!
Marriage is a difficult task,
You deserve a medal,
To make it last.
Jayne Louise Davies
Marriages fail mostly because there are no "designer boys" or "designer girls" around. All we have some qualities you cherish and more qualities you detest. When you are in love, you see only the good ones.

I would like to translate this poem
Part 2. After marriage, you notice the qualities you detest one by one. Too much of expectations, thus failed.
How very true! 43 years for me. I definitely deserve a medal! xx
