The world says of marriage: A short joy and a long displeasure. But he who understands it finds in it delight, love, and joy without ceasing.
We are each others angels in the way that we answer each others prayers and we can also make each others lives miserable.
'Cause we are each other's angels And we meet when it is time We keep each other going And we show each other signs
