For those of you who don't know who this is, she was one of Heavenly Father's elect. Marjorie Pay Hinckley, wife of late Prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, President Gordon B. Hinckley. As I read the book "Behind Every Good Man" by John Bytheway he included this quote by her which was very profound to me and maybe it might struck some of you (if anyone even reads my blog haha).
"I know it is hard for you young mothers to believe that almost before you can turn around the children will be gone and you will be alone with your husband. You had better be sure you are developing the kind of love and friendship that will be delightful and enduring. Let the children learn from your attitude that he is important. Encourage him. Be kind. It is a rough world, and he, like everyone else, is fighting to survive. Be cheerful. Don't be a whiner."
- Marjorie Pay Hinckley
I challenge all my friends to seriously consider this, and to take it to heart. We need to be fiercely loyal to our spouses and remember that we are creating a relationship not just for time, but for eternity.
