The Joys of Being Married!

I will always remember the 1st of November. It was the day I went to the temple to receive my endowment as I prepared to serve a mission. It was also the day that I returned to the temple 5 years later and was sealed to my wonderful husband. Marriage has been a wonderful blessing in my life.

There are moments when things may get difficult, but I am blessed and lucky to have a husband who stands next to me during difficult times and encourages me to do my best. Having a team to work together is a wonderful thing. There are also the tender moments that seem so small but take my breath away. One of my favorite moments of the day that could be seen as small and be looked over are when we pray together. It seems that Heaven is even closer when we pray as a family.

I have just been reflecting on the blessing of being married and how scared I was about it even a few years ago. It is worth every effort of dating, being rejected time and time again, and getting your heart "broken".

Also a Bonus to being married is to have children within a family. Baby Stenger Due September 2014!
