Lyrics

A Marriage is More Than Love
©Schantell Wharton,
In a marriage, it's just not enough
It takes more than love, it takes a lot of trust
Though love's the spark, respect's the key
It takes a lot of dedication, you'll surely agree
Verse 1:
So yes, we can say, "I'm just gonna love them through it"
Yeah, but I gotta give him space too
And then I gotta let him be vulnerable
And then I have to be able, can I hold it?
You know, can I show up when he needs me?
You know, I think we as a wife, you know
My job is to be a helper, to be the light in the dark
Chorus:
Through thick and thin, highs and lows
It's in the little things, where true love grows
It's a partnership, it's a sacred trust
A marriage is more than love, A marriage is more than love


Verse 2:
It's about listening when words are few
Holding on when the storms come through
Standing by each other's side
Even when it's easier to hide
Giving grace when it's hard to do
Finding strength in each "I love you"
It's the patience when times are tough
A marriage is more, more than love
Chorus:
Through thick and thin, highs and lows
It's in the little things, where true love grows
It's a partnership, it's a sacred trust
A marriage is more than love, A marriage is more than love


Bridge:
It's the quiet moments, the shared dreams
The understanding in the in-between
The laughter, the tears, the silent fears
It's holding on through the years
Chorus:
Through thick and thin, highs and lows
It's in the little things, where true love grows
It's a partnership, it's a sacred trust
A marriage is more than love, A marriage is more than love


Outro:
So let's build this life together
Through every storm, every weather
A marriage is more than just love
It's a bond that's built from above
