"By small and simple things, great {marriages} are brought to pass!
If an apple a day can keep the doctor away, then a kind deed a day will give you a healthier and happier marriage. Now, that IS a great thing!

have i forgotten? :)

wow.  it seems a bit of neglect charges are in order for this blog...

i have not forgotten about my marriage or this blog though. :)

yesterday Zach and i had the awesome opportunity to participate in the Brigham City Temple dedication.  I am so grateful we were able to go!...together!

there was a minute that i was thinking about marriage and what makes a strong marriage.  i was looking around the room at a lot of different couples.  some young, some old, some sitting by each other, some not.  there can be a marriage that fits our mold and our ideals...we just have to build it that way.

some of the things we need to do to build our marriage the way we want it are:

build ourselves.

notice each other and what our challenges are. (recognize we will all have challenges...this is not a bad thing!)

look for ways to serve each other and show love

talk and listen

have fun.  be fun.

what are some specific apples that come to mind when you read this list?  when i think about how i want to be and i actually intend to do something about it, i look at what i can do.  action is power.

have a great week!!!
