Marriage: A Joining Of Hands

Marriage is like the joining of hands …

Each enfolding the other

A comfortable fit

A voluntary embrace

Yet always two hands

Free to let go

Able to individually express

 

When two hands touch …

Each senses the needs of the other

And responds

To affirm

To compensate

To share:

 

The firm handshake of agreement

The gentle squeeze of endorsement

The steady grip of assurance

The uplifting gesture of support

 

The clenched fists of anger

The desperate claws of pain

The wringing clasp of anxiety,

The sweaty palms of guilt

 

The loving caress of contentment

The erotic brush of passion

The mutual wave of recognition

The silent fingertip touch of deep connection

 

Marriage is like the joining of hands …

Each enfolding the other

A comfortable fit

A voluntary embrace

Yet always two hands

Free to let go

Able to individually express
