Being married is like investing in the stock market
What’s happening is always fluctuating
There are ups and downs // highs and lows
The only way to gain is to stay in for the long haul
Some choose to invest in penny stocks with low return
Others invest in high end stocks that bring rewards
There are those day traders who choose not to commit
Jumping on the next sure thing, hoping for a rise
Marriage like stocks will inevitably tank at times
Those who bail out leave a lot behind
Staying in and riding out the dip brings upswings
Returns rebound as things can get back on track
After a lifetime of ups and downs one hopes
To have a nest egg to help them live comfortably
Reviewing the highs and lows together
