Quotes from the prophet that my friend has on her facebook and I always smile when I read them.

“Anyone who imagines that bliss [in marriage] is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he has been robbed. [The fact is] most putts don’t drop. Most beef is tough. Most children grow up to be just people. Most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration. Most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. . . . Life is like an old-time rail journey-delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride’” ~Gordon B. Hinckley

“True love is not so much a matter of romance as it is a matter of anxious concern for the well being of one’s companion.” ~Gordon B. Hinckley
