*Those who are married & have played cricket will know
That like runs scored in cricket, the marriage does grow,
*In cricket two batters at crease together face opposition
In marriage two have to unite to conform to institutions,
*In cricket players are chosen by a team of wise selectors
In marriage partnership is forged byold family members,
*In game of cricket a full team would need to have eleven
In marriage, parents decide for you, leaving it on ‘Heaven’,
*In cricket two umpires discuss when there’s disagreement
In marriage everyone talks before reaching any agreement,
*In cricket the batters face bowling that can be fast or slow
In marriage partners adjust and somehow put a good show,
*In cricket opposing side often use the googly or wrong one
In marriage misunderstanding arises, compromise is done,
*Cricket has its ups & downs & many glorious uncertainties
In marriage’s chances need be taken for positive certainties,
*Cricket’s been called ‘gentleman’s game’ of leisure & honor
Marriage isn’t a game, it needs commitment & perseverance
And in this Partnership, Women Always Emerge Stronger !
