As you prepare for marriage, spend some time thinking about your marriage years down the line. When you look back 10, 20 or 50 years from now, what do you want to be able to say about your life together as husband and wife?

Don’t know if you are a Martina McBride fan, but she does seem to have strong family values. That certainly comes out in the song she sings called All The Things We’ve Never Done.

Very romantic I think, and maybe fodder for you and your partner to talk about your goals and priorities in life.

There may be some things in life you don’t achieve but what greater accomplishment than to look back over your marriage one day and know that you have been faithful to one another over the years.

Here are the lyrics to McBride’s song:

All The Things We’ve Never Done

(Craig Bickhardt/Jeff Pennig)

They drank their anniversary glass
A silent moment passed
Then they kissed
She knows there’s something on his mind
He’ll tell her in due time
What it is

He says “I’ve never built
Your mansion on a hill
Or warmed you in the Spanish sun
I simply blink my eye
And think as years fly by
Of all the things we’ve never done”

She smiles and takes his hand in hers
And says “It just occurred
To me now
The thought that brings you such regret
What hasn’t happened yet
It makes me proud…”

“You never walked away
When I needed you to stay
Or made me feel I’m not the one
There’ve been no broken vows
And there reason we’re here now
Is all the things we’ve never done”

“We’ve never grown apart
You never broke my heart
With secrets that you’ve kept me from
We’ve never been untrue
And I’m still here with you
Through all the things we’ve never done”
