18 Fabulous Years

This weekend the Mulk and I celebrated our 18th anniversary. Wow! How time flies! I know there are some friends out there who will think that is sooo long, but trust me, I can't believe it's been 18 years already. It really does fly by!
Anyways, I can't say enough good things about my marriage. I just love being with my husband. Just doing daily activities together makes me feel so satifisfied, so at peace, so unified. And then when we get a chance to go on dates, even better!

In The Proclamation to the Family (a proclamation issued by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints), it states:

The family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity. Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities. By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners.

I really feel that these are the principles we, as a couple, are trying to work on. And it is so nice to be married to someone who has the same goals and values as I do.

I love the Mulk lots and lots! Here's to 18 (and many more) years to come!
