Yes, still after 81/2 years I still absolutely love to married to my husband. We work so hard on our marriage. We try to keep close to the Lord with family scripture reading, prayer, FHE's, family activity days, and of course, temple attendance and DATE NITE!
We are not only best friends, we are real partners. So other than an overabundance of love for my spouse why am I talking about this? Well, because I didn't think marriage could really be like this. People talk about marriage being like this and how to know if a marriage is on the right path, but it all seemed so unreachable. Honestly if we had expected things to be like they are right now when we were first married, we never would've gotten this far. But thankfully, my husband is patient and we're both hard workers. We both enjoy the marriage contract and the hope for a celestial marriage is a sincere desire that we actively work toward.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that marriage is more of a process than an event or goal. It is like a testimony in the fact that if you're not moving forward you're definitely moving backward. Relationships take a lot of work, but I can assure everyone I know that it is so worth it to feel this way.
I enjoy being with my husband and my children in a way that I never could have imagined. It is rare to find a place that we fit so well we have no desire to move from that place. I have found the place where I fit: my family as wife, mother, friend, and teacher. I am so honored and blessed.
