Gratitude Day 12

12.  I'm grateful for my marriage.  I am thankful that we were worthy to be married in the temple and make it an eternal marriage.  I'm grateful that we support each other and that Matt works so hard everyday for our family.  I never hear complaining from him and I appreciate that.  I'm thankful that he understands my need to get away from the kids once in a while and doesn't get bent out of shape if I go to a movie some night or to a girl's night out, or just run to the store alone.  I love that we can still laugh with each other and have fun like we're 23.  I know that our marriage is stronger now than it was in the beginning, and I think having children and challenges has made it that way.  It hasn't always been easy, but it's not supposed to be.  It's how we deal with the challenges together that makes it successful.  We are blessed because we have each other.
