blessed is he whose wife is truly his mate


a kind heart

a gentle disposition

but firm in the face of domestic male brutishness


if he treats her poorly

beats her in his frustration and rage

at not being a King of the World


she should and will take her love elsewhere

to anyone who appreciates her loveliness and devotion

for women bear the brunt


they tend to the details of daily living

and when the tyrant returns home

he will either be soothed or enraged by a perfection


he will never be able to fully contain...but she will be blessed...

and he he will have nothing to say but "I'm sorry"

is this a useless idealism?


it is the dynamic by which we endure

and useless only if we countermand those determinants

blessed is he whose wife is his mate


if he knows it...and lives it...and loves it...
