"A false notion about marriage is a too-common belief in the fairy tale phrase, 'They married and lived happily ever after.' To achieve marital happiness, it is necessary that couples work together to overcome difficulties and temptations, and they must show a willingness to meet the other challenges that will always be a part of their married life together"
-Dale F. Pearson ("Love Conquers All'... And Other Fanciful Notions," Ensign, Jun 1973, 14).

Too many couples think it only takes 50percent effort from each person to make the 100 percent. We need to forget ourselves and put forth 110 percent without expecting anything in return. If we have expectations then they will never be met. If we forget the expectations and be happy with what we get then we will never be disappointed!
Yeah, I think half the divorces I know of are because each expected the fairy tale sooner or later to just "happen." Maybe if we went into it with the expectation that we'll be working our bottom off (as it gets bigger and bigger), we we wouldn't see so many disappointed, once-happy couples(?). By the way, Lara, great job on the blog colors and layout!
