Last Sunday Jeremy and I spoke in church on the topic "husbands and wives." I based my half on the quote below. May we all be blessed to have a best friend as awesome as mine.
Marion D. Hanks of the First Quorum of the Seventy:
Married people should be best friends; no relationship on earth needs friendship as much as marriage…. Friendship in a marriage is so important. It blows away the chaff and takes the kernel, rejoices in the uniqueness of the other, listens patiently, gives generously, forgives freely. Friendship will motivate one to cross the room one day and say, “I’m sorry; I didn’t mean that.” It will not pretend perfection nor demand it. It will not insist that both respond exactly the same in every thought and feeling, but it will bring to the union honesty, integrity. There will be repentance and forgiveness in every marriage—every good marriage—and respect and trust.
