Great bit of philosophical poesy here. A pre-nub sounding nothing but commitment.

What's his risk but a miserable wife is things don't work out.

Confession before tying the knots, is okay. But confession after tying the knot often lead to nought. A beautiful composition.

Women and men should ask themselves these questions to focus their hearts on their vows before they give their vows. Self-truth might spare themself and their mate a life of misery and pain
