I am guessing the temptation here is your spouse. Not sure I understand, but it would make for a great marriage. Thank you for sharing his contest entry with us. I enjoyed reading and want to wish you luck with the contest.

What excellent poem detailing some aspects of what a lengthy marriage is about,
The key, as I believe is also in your poem is to do many things together, as a family.
Keep that bond intact.
Nicely done,
John

This is so wholesome. Indeed, being willing and able to enjoy each other's company is a good recipe for a happy marriage. I need to cook, drink, and play to a 20! Thank you for sharing

The key word is together. I'm guessing it really doesn't matter what you do as long as you are spending time together. My husband and I play scrabble and watch BMX videos together. Great poem. Gretchen

Because Eve was the first woman tempted, so are we. Marriages should be made in heaven, not hell. So, love one another equally and with humility. I get the temptation part in your poem. Good luck in the contest.

I find this to be good advice and a clever way of stating it. The last lines of each stanza really bring home the message of togetherness. However, the last line of the poem took me out of the mood. It did not make sense to me.

This is so true! Marriage partners often forget to be friends. Thank you for the reminder. I hope many people read this and take it to heart! Well done.

Hi Nina,
This is a well written, witty and somewhat erotic sonnet about how a marriage stays together. I sounds like a good recipe.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Good luck in the contest.
Have a great day,
Joan

Your poem is joyfully expressed, blending cooking, love, and fun to symbolize unity. Moments of shared experiences and the solid strength in relationships. Ending with the call to cook, drink, and play through life's challenges is a lovely reminder of togetherness and joy in facing ups and downs. Fun, heartfelt, wonderful!
