I don't like making big decisions. I always waffle between the options and second guess myself. I often wonder "what if. . ." after making decisions. I like to keep options open and cutting things off by being decisive is just not something I am good at.
There has been one decision, one of the biggest of my life, which I know I made correctly. Nine years ago I married a man who is perfect for me. I have learned things about myself, the gospel, life, marriage, the Priesthood, sacrifice, love, and service from him and in such ways that only he could teach me. I am so grateful God answered my prayers 10 years ago and to this day I do not doubt marrying Ben was the right choice.
Marriage is interesting, exciting, perplexing, frustrating, fun, exhausting, exhilarating, hilarious, hard, satisfying, humbling, comforting. . .in a word, wonderful. I have the best companion by my side forever and I'm so grateful for him and love him with all my heart. I find as he travels now that I am not whole without him. I love all the jokes we share simply by saying a single word or phrase. I do not fear the future for I know he will be with me. Each day I learn more from him and with him and I look forward, happily, to the future, whatever it may hold. Happy Anniversary, Ben.

Happy Anniversary! Ben is a great guy, but you are a great woman!
Happy Anniversary! You guys ware well fit for eachother. I remember our trip to Europe when Ben had just proposed to you before leaving. We could tell he was glowing. I remember a conversation on that trip when he said you were the most mature woman he knew. That is quite the praise. I am glad you are my sister, even if there is an -in-law in there.

Great comments about marriage. I, too thing I got the best man ever so I will have to qualify that and say he is the best man for my needs. You are a great wife and mother. It was very hard for me to give you up when you got married because I enjoy having you around and I wasn't ready to let you go but as time has told it was a good thing.
