{daughters of a King}

Some excellent food for thought on womanhood:

If every husband and every wife would constantly do whatever might be possible to ensure the comfort and happiness of his or her companion, there would be very little, if any, divorce.  Argument would never be heard. Accusations would never be leveled.  Angry explosions would not occur.  Rather love and concern would replace abuse and meanness.

"I want to be happy

But I won't be happy

Till I make you happy, too"

-President Hinckley 

May I invite you to rise to the great potential within you.  But don't reach beyond your capacity.  Don't set goals beyond your capacity to achieve.  Don't feel guilty or dwell on thoughts of failure.  Don't compare yourself with others.  Do the best you can, and the Lord will provide the rest.  

-President Uchtdorf

I am amazed at the inspired words of our inspired leaders - In my marriage, I have found that when we are both working to put each other first, conflict rarely arises.  It is times when one of us (and both are guilty of this at times) is being selfish that idyllic flow of marriage seems to slow and we have to redouble our efforts... 

But then, as President Uchtdorf emphasizes, DO NOT DWELL ON THOUGHTS OF FAILURE!  Move forward, and do the best you can.  

It's humbling to know that many are seeking these answers, and we are blessed with the ability to find them- all we have to do is study the words of our prophets.  There is no great secret to life - it is living day by day, and realizing that today is a part of eternity.
