I Love My Wife!

I'm probably in for a lifetime of looks just like these from my beautiful wife. She keeps me in line. There's no doubt about it. She has a very strong testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and is very sensitive to the Spirit. She is humble and sweet and always ready to teach and learn the principles taught to her by the Spirit. Some men find this trait very unattractive in a woman because of their own pride. I love that my wife corrects me. I could and can not become the man my Heavenly Father wants me to become without having a wife who is not only supportive, but also willing to correct when necessary. This is not to say that she bosses me around or that I always give in (I too suffer from the man's curse of pride and stubbornness). She lovingly corrects me because she can see my true potential. By doing so she is fulfilling her duty as my wife. I love that she cares enough about my eternal progression to not let things slip. We both served in the Iowa Des Moines Mission. While serving, I had the opportunity to see what a wonderful person she was. I never thought I would marry someone so perfect and so willing to put God first in all things. Now, after having been blessed with the opportunity to be married to such an angel, I have complete confidence that she will raise our children in righteousness. I just want to say something to those young women out there who are afraid to correct the men in their lives whether they be friends, boyfriends or fiances. If you are afraid to correct them in respect to principles of righteousness or things that offend your spirit then maybe they aren't the right men you should be hanging out with. The righteous men in your lives will accept the correction and strive to improve. Do not ever stay in a relationship in which your spirit is continually offended. These relationships are not worth anything. When men are corrected by women and they are offended it is because they are guilty. The Book of Mormon says that the wicked take the truth to be hard. It is true. Stand up for righteousness in all times, in all places and in all things no matter what the consequences and you will surround yourself with the men who are looking for a righteous woman. I was looking for a righteous woman and when my wife wasn't afraid to correct me on little things that distracted from the Spirit, I knew I had found one. If you can't stand up to your potential eternal companion or friends then you will have an even harder time standing up to your kids when they start to wander.

I just had pretended to push her in!
