Plain Speaking Needed

Eight weeks after our wedding
(Seven weeks after our honeymoon),
I read a marriage book that advocated
Getting away every quarter to be together.
We hadn’t planned this yet.

Phil arrived home from work.
I greeted him with the helpful welcome,
“Our marriage is a failure!”

“I don’t agree,” he said calmly
And went to change his clothes.

Maybe those marriage book writers
Don’t know everything.
