“Be quick to say, ‘I’m sorry.’ As hard as it is to form the words, be swift to say, ‘I apologize, and please forgive me,’ even though you are not the one who is totally at fault. True love is developed by those who are willing to readily admit personal mistakes and offenses”

Elder Joe J. Christensen
“This respect comes of recognition that each of us is a son or daughter of God, endowed with something of his divine nature, that each is an individual entitled to expression and cultivation of individual talents and deserving of forbearance, of patience, of understanding, of courtesy, of thoughtful consideration. 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”
-Elder Gordon B. Hinckley
“What is love? Many people think of it as mere physical attraction and they casually speak of ‘falling in love’ and ‘love at first sight.’ This may be Hollywood’s version and the interpretation of those who write love songs and love fiction. True love is not wrapped in such flimsy material. One might become immediately attracted to another individual, but love is far more than physical attraction. It is deep, inclusive and comprehensive. Physical attraction is only one of the many elements, but there must be faith and confidence and understanding and partnership. There must be common ideals and standards. There must be a great devotion and companionship. Love is cleanliness and progress and sacrifice and selflessness. This kind of love never tires nor wanes, but lives through sickness and sorrow, poverty and privation, accomplishment and disappointment, time and eternity”
“If one really loves another, one would rather die for that person than to injure him”
-Elder Spencer W. Kimball
"In the presence of the girl you truly love you do not feel to grovel; in her presence you do not attempt to take advantage of her; in her presence you feel that you would like to be everything that a Master Man should become, for she will inspire you to that ideal. And I ask you young women to cherish that same guide”
-President David O. McKay
Church leaders teach us so much about so many things in life. One thing I cherish the most that they teach is how one must treat their spouse. Leaders have unceasingly taught that man and woman are companions, equals, and friends. They have taught that we must love our spouse with a Christ-like love. Viewing them as one of Gods greatest creations. I know I am not the best at showing that to Aimee, however, the love I have always felt for her has always been deeper. She is Gods greatest creation. (hate to break it to anyone out there :) ) I hold her happiness as my top priority in life. I cherish her more than anything in this world, or the next. I love her so much! Aimee, I love you.
