Husband and Wife

Track #9 of With These Songs We Wed

This song was written in 2021. It’s suitable for anniversaries as well as weddings.

You are now husband and wife
Today and the rest of your earthly life
Through gladness and calm
Through sorrow and strife
You are each other’s best friend
May your sweet love never end

Ten years and still going strong
Sometimes you’re right
Sometimes so very wrong
You may not agree
But you need harmony
Compromise will be your friend
On this you can surely depend

Twenty-five years
Courage and fears
You’ve been enriched by both vict’ries and tears
Memories made
Will never fade
Treasures to keep you both happy you stayed

Fifty years—so very long!
Romance and good humor have kept you strong
You’re still on the road
The end is not yet
as long as you never forget
that you are still husband and wife
