The Holy Church of Matrimonial Bliss
On that fateful day when I said “I do”
I became a member of that church of two
All my money goes to my wife’s collection bowl
Disappearing without a sound down that holy hole
The evening meal is considered a shrine
Where I get to consume some holy wine
A sermon is delivered at least twice a week
With the outlook for me usually rather bleak
And the praying to her never ends
To let me hang out and drink with my friends
But once in a while at various nights
I humbly get to visit my wife’s holy sites
These are the nights you don’t want to miss
Where you partake of the matrimonial bliss
Followed by the day of infinite grace
Confessing my sins with a straight face
We even have church picnics once in a while
Where we congregate, talk, eat, and smile
So you see, my church is at home
No need for a cathedral with golden dome

Written with great sensitivity and love - a tribute to a great couple.
Aww, thanks Michael. I just wanted it to be funny. But I guess I cannot deny my love for my better half, even if I do have to confess my sins! 🙂
Good write Fred. Meanwhile, with my KP 'wedding' I'm having anything but matrimonial bliss! I got me ball and chain on. It will never be removed, cos she has the key to the chain! lol.
Thanks orchi, I did not know they had chastity belts for guys! Maybe KP was around way back when, seeing you as a knight, and fell in love with you right then and there. And that is where she got the belt from.
May your Church be filled with love and light. Good write.
It is, it is, Goldfinch, thank you very much. The only dark days are the confession days, but I'll live!
Brilliant FRED a perfect analogy ~ although I speak from ANTICIPATION ~ not EXPERIENCE ! However your Poem perfectly mirrors my observation of my parents when I was domiciled for 18 carefree years ! Please check my tribute to ANGELA ON A BEACH ~ BRIAN
Thanks so much Brian, will do!
This is a wonderful write, Fred! This is a light poem but so beautiful to see that you are in love. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Christina! Well, I did say 'I do', so I might as well hang in there!!!
Yes, I used to belong to that church, and remember those services well. Cute poem on a fine marriage, Fred! You are a fortunate man.
Thanks Louis, and yes, i do consider myself fortunate. The next goal is the 50th anniversary!
Wow! I never made one past 23rd.

Beautiful write
Thanks for reading and commenting, Tony!
Welcome
Great write and I could identify with a lot of this in my own worship routine.
Thanks lasergraph, I guess our churches homes are all different, but we do belong to the same matrimonial bliss religion!
What a blessing.
Thanks m&m, the poem may be funny, but I know that I am seriously blessed having found her and that she decided to stick around.
Fred, this is indeed a well and thoughtful poem. Enjoyed it. I had a smile as I read it.
Thanks so much, rr! Putting a smile on your face is great, couldn't ask for more!
