Analysis of Marriage Rot



When you're married to your best friend
 You take for granted that it will last until "The End."
Someone to help you & walk right beside you.
 Someone you can nurture, love & provide to.
Someone you tell, "Good Morning" and "Good Night" to.
 Someone who proves they will always try too.
The religious beliefs of a couple absolutely depend.
 Upon their hope of actually getting to "The End."
One of them cannot believe while the other does NOT!
 Unfortunately, they'll end up with "Marriage Rot."
