MARRIAGE

"...the most important single thing that any Latter-day Saint ever does in this world is to marry the right person in the right place by the right authority."
--Bruce R. McConkie



"While marriage is difficult, and discordant, and frustrating, marriages are common, yet real, lasting happiness is possible, and marriage can be more and exultant ecstasy than the human mind can conceive. This is within the reach of every couple, every person."
-- Spencer W. Kimball


"The most popular--and the roughest--contact sport in the country is not professional football; it is marriage. Consider the statistics: over 90% of us try our hand at it, either ignoring the dangers or simply hoping for the best. A third of us, however, sustain so many injuries that we are willing to suffer the humiliation of divorce to get off the field. Yet the promis, the attractiveness, is so great that 80% of those divorced put themselves back into the marriage game--most of them within 3 years. Clearly the problem isnot how to make matrimony more popular; it's how to make it less hazardous."
--Carlfed Broderick


I found these quotes today on a blog and I just love them. They are so true. They really make you think especially after the wild weekend we had on the Fourth of July. I love my parents for the example they set for me in marriage. I am so sorry that it took me so long to make the right choice for my marriage. I am so proud of my girls for the choices in their eternal partners. They make me so proud. I am eternally grateful for Rob and the marriage we have now. Boy....... it took a while to get there!!!!!! This past year has made me closer to Rob than I ever thought I could be. Thanks hon..... I love you forever.
