While wasting time on Runner's World, a topic posted on the Discussion boards caught my eye - "What do you love about being married?". One person replied with a poem (actually, it's an excerpt from a novel that was later republished as a poem) that I think is absolutely beautiful. Enjoy!
Oh, the comfort --
The inexpressible comfort of feeling
safe with a person,
Having neither to weigh thoughts,
Nor measure words -- but pouring them
All right out -- just as they are --
Chaff and grain together --
Certain that a faithful hand will
Take and sift them --
Keep what is worth keeping --
and with the breath of kindness
Blow the rest away.
By Dinah Maria Mulock Craik - A Life For A Life (1859)
