Happier now.

     I was just reading Boyd K. Packer's talk from General Conference last April.  Can I just say how much I enjoyed reading it? Okay I will say it, I enjoyed reading it.  In fact it made me so happy that I giggled a little here and there through out it (when something makes me happy, I giggle).
    I was just thinking the other day how the hubs gets me flowers once every 5 years (maybe), we never eat by candlelight, and most the time he sees me in pajamas and messy hair. Basically romance is not the center of our marriage, BUT he gets up with the baby in the night even after a long hard day at work, he does the dishes when he sees the sink is full, and speaking of a long days work, he works so hard for us, has paid our debts in full, puts a roof over my head, clothes our children, and puts up with my need to get out of the house often. And he NEVER EVER complains (even though I am like a broken record replaying bad news). I love him so much more now than I did when it was all romance. 


"But romantic love is incomplete; it is a prelude. Love is nourished by the coming of children, who spring from that fountain of life entrusted to couples in marriage. Conception takes place in a wedded embrace between husband and wife. A tiny body begins to form after a pattern of magnificent complexity. A child comes forth in the miracle of birth, created in the image of its earthly father and mother." Boyd K. Packer
