Love's War On Divorce

If all is fair…In love and war….

Then…Why do both seem so unfair…

Maybe…We need a new justice system…

As…This one’s gotten us nowhere

For richer or for poorer…

The… Traditional marriage vows say…

True Christians marry for love…

Not tradition…Letting God lead the way

In sickness and in health….

Until death do us part…At the altar we repeat…

But…When the headaches come and bullets fly…

We beat a hasty retreat

For better or for worse… Has become a double edged sword…

So...For those cutting issues… Our best…

Should be the others reward

Forsaking all others…Oh for goodness sake…

We must seek first the kingdom of God…

And let him add our soulmate

The sobriety of this commitment…

 Has degraded us…To drunken lust…Anxiety and rage…

 Impairing us from arming ourselves… For the war that we must wage

When trials and tribulations… Bring you to the brink…

And…You don't think…You can go any further…

Put on the whole armor of God…

And…Continue…The fight for each other

Irreconcilable differences…Woefully emanating….

From intolerable smiles…

In our minds we're updating our status…

As we look to change our profiles

Marriages have suffered violence…And we must stop this divisive force…

It’s time to take up marital arms…And start waging war on divorce

Divorce has no respect of persons…And does not discriminate…

Exploiting every weak fiber… Which…Exists…

In the thin line…Between love and hate

Love gives its all…With… Eternal clarity in its sights…

Before…You say I do…Or…I will

It has already begun to fight

 Love will root out every issue…

 Buried at the marriage core…

Identifying divorce…

 As the enemy to defeat…

  And then waging a loving war

“Realizing The Battle Is Really Not Ours …But…The Lord’s Makes Fighting The War So Much Easier” “What God Has Joined Together Let No Man Put Asunder’
