Domestic
By Dr. Deborah A. Bonner

Sweet is the start of love between two; it is as if nothing else exist in the world so true! The Sun shines and the sky is always so, so blue oh and there is always a twinkle in their eyes that sure is a clue.
So great is their love they say we will remember the twinkle, the light that shut out all the dark, sad, empty places and brings only joy, gladness and triumph in our ever binding covenant that we undyingly vowed to each other.

We will remember our vows of LOVE first to God and each to other! We vow to remember that spark that ignited our flame, our burning passion for one another, that exploded with compassion, consideration, humbleness, thoughtfulness, caring, sharing, helpfulness, words of encouragement, having discernment knowing to the tee each of our own wants, desires and needs. Yes, we will remember love is the key that balances the scale

There is no sourness in the sound of their voices, the tone is soft and mellow and the air is filled with melodies of synchronizing, harmonious notes of everlasting love, laughter, which continually echo from their humble abode.
Years pass and miraculously children are born, it was just the three, me and thee sweetie. Seems like yesterday the children were crawling, running, jumping, climbing, playing, in grade school, then college now they are grown and gone!

There's no more giggles, wiggles, moans, groans, screams and cries in the night and we loved every moment! Now it is just the two on the outside the beautiful me and handsome you! The union smells of sunshine on a rainy day and then turns into bolts of lightning and hail, which comes thundering down interrupting their love!

Oh, if every room inside would reveal the dark overcast of clouds and thunder within.
Domestic, how sorrowful it is when the storm made her appearance; the lightning bolt split their love down the middle. How terrible is the enemy from within!
Domestic, the enemy of discord infestation crept in, because someone was not being watchful, he tore down a love so true and now they are blue.

Domestic, where did the twinkle in their eyes go? Has sweet love grown so far apart because they're old? Relationship, should love be taken ever so lightly? How soon they forget the beginning of their love, unity, oneness, fellowship, smiles, laughter and tears of joy at our babies' birth.
Domestic, what about the vows, which were spoken, but now broken? Can you bring this to their memory? Through sickness, health, good, bad, thick, thin, for better or worse, broke, busted or disgusted no matter what, we will ever be true!

Domestic, we will not hurt each other with words of verbal or physical abuse, after all this relationship was ours to choose. Domestic, why does violence come where love overflowed like Niagara Falls? How soon did two become one? Oh where did we lose our fun?
Domestic, love is an ever winding road which, never ever ends no matter what life's curves, twist, storms or arrows bring MARRIAGE IS A MINISTRY!

Cherish each precious moment, speak loving words, you never know when it may be your last!

Where ever domestic violence exists and there are children, they unwittingly cling to the abuser not all but most of the time.. iip
