Real People - facing the forgotten issues with friendship and a little fun.

MARRIAGE RITES

Boy meets girl

emotional sparks

ignite

love or lust

time will tell.

They hold hands

They kiss

then it is hit or miss

Until

Boy will say

(sometimes)

Girl will say

'Let's make it formal'

True blue love

Before all and G-D

We want everyone to know

What we have is holy

Let's marry and vow

To carry each other

With G-D's help

Through each day

To create a family

With a mate, to bring

Children into this world.

With love and honesty

To raise them to have

Compassion and strength

To carry on traditions

From generations past

A chain of belief

In the greater good

As a member of a wider community

we realise that

Some are different

either by choice or design

And that is ok too, but just not the norm

For the standards that we all conform

and hope that our child does too.

Because when

boy meets boy

girl meets girl

In the dark

It lacks an essential spark

Of light created

Between a man and a woman

Then when friendship

Is based on lust

And not trust,

All becomes dust

which has substance

But is sterile stuff

But lacks the holy spark

A night without day

A union recognised

It is true,

but not as right as when

Man meets woman

To continue

The work of a divine

Creator being

In the fruit of the union.

I have to tell you Ian, you are way off topic. We are talking here about the sanctity of a marriage relationship between a man and a woman as opposed to the perversions of modern society's tolerance for just about anything goes these days. I could not give a rat's bottom about Napoleon Bonaparte's nephew anyway. I much prefer people like Voltaire, who while not an exactly G-D fearing chappie was clever. Bonaparte himself while a good general was not a good example of moral fortitude. He was just a narcissist who could win battles in the field and in politics.
As far as women went, he just thought with his tiny head below the belt and not with his intellect, like most men unfortunately and many women these days. That is why the divorce rate is so high.

Comment by Ian Macrae Yeates on February 5, 2012 at 5:26am: Dale Carnegie tells of Napoleon 111 of France who was nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte and if you do know someone who is getting married tell them about him if you want their marriage to be a long innings. Napoleon 111 fell in love with Marie Eugenie Ignace Augustine de Montijo, Countess of Teba, the most beautiful woman in the world - and married her. His advisors pointed out that she was only the daughter of an insignificant Spanish count. But Napoleon retorted: "What of it?" Her grace, her youth, her charm, her beauty filled him with divine felicity. In a speech hurled from the throne, he defied an entire nation: "I have preferred a woman I love and respect," he proclaimed, "to a woman unknown to me."

Napoleon and his bride had health, wealth, power, fame, beauty, love, adoration - all the requirements for a perfect romance. Never did the sacred fire of marriage glow with a brighter incandescence.

But alas, the holy flame soon flickered and the incandescence cooled - and turned to embers. Napoleon could make Euginie an empress;but nothing in all of belle France, neither the power of his love nor the might of his throne, could keep her from nagging.

This same sex marriage push really gets my gander up because next we'll having any number of nutcases wanting to 'marry' their dog, their bugerigar, their bloody race horse, perverts wanting to 'marry' children. I have one of their nutcase elements plaster lies about me all over the net and have got a legal aid appointment next week to see if I can take action to have this vile man and his bully cohorts taken to account.

Comment by Ian Macrae Yeates on February 3, 2012 at 9:28pm: Next week politicians come back to Canberra for the first Parliamentary sitting of 2012.

With Labor having reneged on its election promise to protect marriage, the same-sex activists are now targeting the Coalition.

They are e-mailing Coalition MPs and Senators to say that a Coalition conscience vote on same-sex marriage would not be a breach of their election promise to protect marriage between a man and a woman. This of course is nonsense.

They want to force next week’s Coalition Party Room to weaken its position on marriage and allow a conscience vote.

It is important that supporters of marriage make their voices known ahead of next week’s Party Room meeting.

If you live in an electorate held by a Coalition Member, please e-mail him or her now through the AMF e-mail form . Click the box to cc your Senators. If you are not sure if your local member is a member of the Liberal or National Party Coalition, you can check the Parliament Website.

Please also e-mail the leader of the Opposition, Tony Abbott Tony.Abbott.MP@aph.gov.au and thank him for his leadership in protecting marriage.

The same-sex marriage activists know that while ever the Coalition keeps its promise they cannot achieve their aim of redefining marriage.

Please support your Coalition MP and Senator with an e-mail before next Tuesday.

Thanks for taking action at this important time
