Everyone is happy and smiling and problems are solved so easily. Plus, everyone is gorgeous.

I think a lot of people have misconceptions about marriage always being some glamorous life of love and ease.

And even though my marriage is ordinary I guess, boy I sure enjoy it! I'd say there are way more than occasional vistas. Or maybe I just get a kick out of the smoke and the jolts of life because my marriage makes it all rock.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01157205531624676712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8697967492776217409.post-4607025422368100972011-01-03T21:11:56.406-07:002011-01-03T21:11:56.406-07:00I know that President Hinkley used those words in ...I know that President Hinkley used those words in his book, "10 Neglected Virtues" (I'm fairly sure that's the book).

But it can be better than I thought. It has rough times, but when I work at it, it has some really fun times. <br />Love this idea, keep sharing little things to think about.Kristiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16864907697852652174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8697967492776217409.post-22474015810797998352011-01-03T16:54:57.952-07:002011-01-03T16:54:57.952-07:00My minor was in Marriage, Family and Human Develop...My minor was in Marriage, Family and Human Development.

We choose to be happy for others, to find the good in the moment, to overlook the little things that really don't matter. Very important to remember.<br /><br />happy new year!Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10014195715998913268noreply@blogger.com
