YOUR QUEEN

Greet her in the morning
With a tender kiss
When parting ways
Say it's her you'll miss
Breakfast in bed
Will make her smile
After she's dressed
Say you like her style
If she has a job
Call or send an email
“How's your day going?”
Listen to every detail
When her day is done
Give her time to unwind
Draw a bath for her
To relax her mind
If the day's been tough
And she needs to vent
Give your full attention
Regardless of time spent
Don't try to “fix” her
She's just letting off steam
She talks...you listen
What a great team
But after she's done
If she asks for advice
Give it to her gently
Just once will suffice
Take her out on dates
Dinner and a movie too
Make her feel special
She'll appreciate you
Flowers, cards and candy
Not just on Valentine's Day
Before making love
Start off with foreplay
But if she'd rather not
Then do whatever she enjoys
From full body massages
To exotic sex toys
Treat her like a queen
Always be faithful and true
And whether things are good or bad
She'll be standing right beside you!

GREENER GRASS

The grass always looks greener
When it's on the other side
But things quickly change
When you discover they've lied
That's not her real hair
The car he drives is a rental
He has how many kids
She's really not that gentle
They're both steeped in debt
But truly try to deceive
They've told so many lies
You don't know what to believe
Who am I referring to
The person you once dated
But if you married them
It gets complicated
Most marriages fail
Because they start with a lie
If they were to tell the truth
You might just pass them by
So they fabricate a life
In order to catch your eye
You're blinded by "love"
So you believe the lie
It really doesn't matter
Because you were lieing too
After all you wanted them
To be attracted to you
So now here you are
The truth has come to light
The cat is out of the bag
Should you run or stay and fight
You both need to stay
And change how you live
Despite the hurt and pain
God wants you to forgive
Consider this for a moment
As you look at your wedding ring
They wanted you so much
They were willing to do anything
Lieing is a sin
But being bitter is sinful too
But if you don't forgive them
God won't forgive you
But if you decide to leave
And find somebody new
They'll have their own set of issues
And you'll have to forgive them too

TWO SIDES

He lied to you
Now you're mad
He's the worst lover
You ever had
Talked a good game
But can't produce
And now you hear
Every excuse
He's just tired
He needs his rest
Early in the morning
For him is best
You've heard it all
You're agitated
You shouldn't have married
You should have waited
But now you're stuck
And unsatisfied
He's a Christian
How could he have lied
That's the story
You tell your girls
But with his boys
His side unfurls
You're a cold fish
When you're in the sack
Barking orders
Lying still on your back
No new positions
You're not a slut
Don't kiss me there
Get your hands off my butt
Very frustrated
He's turned to porn
He knows it's wrong
But yet he's torn
He's very unhappy
The marriage is a wreck
You're not pleasing God
So he figures...what the heck
He's wasting his time
Trying to do what's right
It's a losing battle
He's given up the fight
...God's not pleased...
This can be resolved
Let God intervene
Before the marriage is dissolved
You both should repent
Stop bad-mouthing each other
Get spiritual advice
To become a better lover
It starts with humility
An open and honest chat
You need to work on this
She needs to work on that
You won't always agree
But it's a good place to start
Start and end with prayer
To let God soften your heart
The lies Satan tells
Are meant to hurt and consume
He does his greatest damage
When he enters your bedroom
Brothers be gentlemen
Take care of your wives first
Make sure she's satisfied
Before quenching your thirst
Sisters you're not sluts
For trying something new
The sluts are on the internet
And they wish they were you
Here's a little secret
That I must now reveal
When you're with your friends
You say how you really feel
If most of it's negative
Malicious or just mean
You must understand
That's exactly what God's seen
He knows what's in your heart
I know this may sound strange
But God may not intervene
Until you make a change
But aside from that point
How will your spouse be viewed
If all you tell your friends
Is that they're worthless and rude
Work on pleasing God
He'll take care of the rest
He is our Heavenly Father
And Father knows best

MALE ISSUES

You are the husband
You're supposed to lead
But yet you're selfish
When she's in need
It's another problem
We must address
Some sensitive issues
Most won't confess
But it's time to talk
Let's clear the air
There's a double standard
That's just not fair
You often complain
That she's gained weight
So you're ashamed
To take her on a date
Is it because
She's given birth
To the most precious beings
On God's green earth
Or is it because
She's a bit depressed
Being married to you
Has her feeling stressed
She's no super model
Or a woman leading cheers
But can you see your abs
Or are they filled with beers
So please don't complain
About what she might lack
When you're a couch potato
And not a Quarterback
With that being said
Let's discuss the bedroom
Let's address some questions
Which lead her to assume
Are you impotent
Naïve or depressed
Inexperienced
Or just plain stressed
All of these issues
Leave her frustrated
Her mind may wander
About others she dated
It's Satan's ploy
To make her want to cheat
Women are clever
They can be discreet
So brothers step up
And put your pride aside
Get the help you need
To take care of your bride
Are you too fast
When she wants it slow
You're making love
Not a sleazy porno
But if she does
Prefer it fast
...Pace yourself...
Make sure you can last
You'll reach your goal
You always do
Let her finish first
Then take care of you
It's called chivalry
And it's not dead
Let it guide your actions
In your marriage bed
The lady comes first
A good rule to follow
But don't pressure her
If she doesn't swallow
Yes, oral sex
Some think it's taboo
You perform it on her
But she won't do it to you
She has her reasons
Whatever they are
It's okay to ask
But don't take it too far
Was she hurt
By a jerk in her past
She's trying to heal
But you're moving too fast
It bothers her
No matter what it was
Just love her now
The way God does
She's pretty complex
There's much to explore
You're missing out
If you choose to ignore
What are her goals
What's her greatest fear
Actively listen
When holding her near
It's always good
To begin with romance
Before you start
To remove her pants
If she says no
The mood’s not right
Don't get angry
And pout all night
She needs a man
Not a selfish boy
Be considerate
Don't steal her joy
Enjoy your wife
And forsake all others
Get much advice
From spiritual brothers
It’s time for you
To swallow your pride
And give your best
To your beautiful bride

MALE INSIGHT

My incredible Sisters
May I please have a word
I wanted to address
Things I've seen and heard
This is for the Marrieds
So it's meant for the wives
Those wonderful gifts
God placed in our lives
========================
Most men are simple
And easy to dissect
We want your love
But crave your respect
We'll make mistakes
But please let us lead
Don't make us guess
Just say what you need
Let us protect
When danger is near
Be very attentive
Lend us your ear
When times get tough
We do what we can
Don't criticize
Be our number one fan
When you get angry
When we've done wrong
You hold back sex
Sometimes too long
We feel insecure
When you say "no"
We have our needs
So where do we go
Some to the internet
Some to a bar
Although we're Christians
Some take it too far
Disrespect and rejection
Make us very weak
We're bred to be tough
So it's difficult to speak
We can't articulate
Exactly how we feel
But please believe
The pain is real
This point is critical
Here's where things break
We believe Satan's lies
And make the ultimate mistake
We have an affair
Either physical or mental
Satan's been scheming
So it's not coincidental
That woman at work
Gives us special attention
We don't confess
It's not something we mention
We're flattered at first
But now it's too late
Either mentally or physically
We take her on a date
All is not lost
But there's certainly real trouble
Your strong foundation
Could be reduced to rubble
Are you at fault
For his regrettable sin
You were Satan's pawn
But it was his decision
Men are pretty simple
So sisters be aware
The simplest thing
Could lead to an affair
Rejection is a killer
Disrespect is too
Eliminate them both
Save your husband...and you
This surely isn't true
In every situation
But divorce is a problem
Too common in our nation
Marriage is tough
"God first" is the key
This poem just offers insight
To what a woman might not see

Cornelius
