•How did you meet your husband? We met at the Feast of Tabernacles in Keystone, Colorado in 1994.
•What did you first notice about him? The very first thing? He was really handsome, and he had kind eyes.
•How long have you been married? We have been married for 15 years.
•Share something you discovered about him after you were married that surprised you? His love of country music surprised me, as did the fact that he is naturally very goofy (when he's around a few people he knows well).
•What do you argue about the most? We don't really argue much...probably mostly misunderstandings in word or deed.
•What quality in him do you admire most? He is steadfast about doing the right thing in every situation.
•What is the hardest part about being married? It's hard when visions don't agree.
•What’s the best part about being married? Everything! The best part about marriage is having someone who really knows you and whom you really know, and you can stand together.
•What has changed the most about you since you've been married? I have become so much more relaxed than I used to be (which should be a stunning realization to those who know me well!).
•What’s the one piece of advice you’d give to other wives about creating a happy marriage? Men do not communicate like women do. Most of the time, there's nothing to read "between the lines." Start with the assumption that he's saying what he means and don't aggravate yourself over what you think he might mean unless there is some other reason to think so. Men are a whole lot simpler to understand than we make them.
•What's the one piece of advice you'd give to your children about creating a happy marriage? Choose to marry someone who loves God and who loves other people, and who loves the things you love. Don't marry someone and think you'll change them!
