Welcome to the Family

You left a life so simple...
That was long before we met.
Everythng went a lot smoother then, 
--You want to make a bet?

Well, Don't you Know  God's lesson? 
Everyone must earn their way, Sooooo..
Our family was put here to test you
And you've not made heaven yet.

Considering my ex in-laws, what direction they should attempt to follow would be the opposite of my own; save that to Heaven. Thankfully Heaven is eternal and endless, so there is little chance of our meeting. A humorous view of the trials and tribulations of the inner workings of marriage; those least spoke of or managed.
