 In Readings: Expressing Your Love

Some of the greatest songwriters and musicians are also some of the greatest poets. Whether it’s song lyrics or written poetry, they can provide the written word to all of the emotions that we feel when we are in love with someone. This excerpt from Bob Marley is a great choice for couples that want to recognize, in their ceremony, the gift of someone’s heart and the responsibility that comes with loving someone. No small responsibility, that’s for sure! This passage highlights emotional trust and mutual respect – cornerstones of a healthy, lasting marriage.

Love by Bob Marley

She’s not perfect – you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together – but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold on to her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break – her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.
