"I believe in the family where there is a husband who regards his companion as his greatest asset and treats her accordingly; where there is a wife who looks upon her husband as her anchor and strength. The cultivation of such a home requires effort and energy, forgiveness and patience, Love and, endurance, and sacrifice; but it is worth all of these and more."
~~ Gordon B. Hinckley~~

Does this really happen? When both partners are putting forth this kind of effort? I remember a time when I had this. I long to find this someday. For not only myself, but for my sweet little children who need good example's in there life. A man that takes responsibility, takes his Priesthood seriously, that shows his family(mainly his sons)the roles of a father, an active Priesthood holder,and husband!!
Most of all I wish I could fix our family we had. I don't want to loose the relationship I had. I don't understand how people can just stop trying?! It breaks my heart. Unfortunately I have no say in this. You have chosen this for the kids and I. And I just have to pick up the pieces and focus on my sweet children who are my world. I could not imagine my life without them in it everyday. What a lonely life you must have now!
