Our family dynamic has really changed. We're not both at work full time during the day anymore. I'm now the one waiting to greet him at home every evening when he comes home from work. We're also home taking care of the kiddos TOGETHER every night...learning together, laughing together...enjoying our little family together. It feels good.
Over the last couple months things have really changed in our marriage. We've run into some forks in the road where we've really had to sit back and decide "where are WE going to go from here?". And I've been given a gift. A gift of getting to see just how much my husband loves me. I am so grateful for the experiences we've gone through recently...experiences that have allowed me to see how truly, deeply and faithfully my husband loves me. His love for me is so STRONG...and near perfect. I'm so grateful for his love...his unconditional love. I've had the opportunity to see how wonderful and real our temple covenants are. Elder Richard G. Scott said, "The temple sealing has greater meaning as life unfolds..." I don't think I ever considered how it's strength can save us in times of struggle.
I'm not always the best wife in the world. Sometimes at the end of the day with the kiddos I'm not the sexiest woman to come home to...the house isn't always tidy and dinner isn't always on the table. All things he deserves to come home to. Yet he loves me anyway and he doesn't even act like he notices.
We have grown so much closer this summer. It doesn't matter what lows we had to hit before we gravitated toward eachother...I'm just glad we have. We express our love more...show our love more...and I'm FEELING it everytime we're together. I'm so lucky to have my amazing husband and for the closeness we've felt this summer. I love him dearly and can't wait to experience what we have ahead of us. This is an amazing journey because of HIM. I'm a lucky lucky wife to have him for eternity!!!
