Sometimes I feel that it would be nice to be knocking on heaven's door; To be at the end of this mortal life. I mean, think of all the pluses! To have made it to the end of my term here with faith, enduring to the end (woohoo!), to start working on the other side, and to no longer have the fear of dying a painful death. Not to mention all the cool things like talking to all those who have gone before, watching all the rest of you (I wonder if it's like watching TV?), understanding more about all the confusing things we don't quite understand such as polygamy, the veil, what babies know while they can't talk, etc.

Don't get all worried, I'm not saying that I wish my time here would end pramaturely, but I worry that I may not endure to the end if I life to be 80 or something. Seriously, how do those people do it? I think it's awesome, but I've never done anything for longer than a few years so I just wonder if I could stick it out for that long.

Anyway, it's late and I'm rambling... just a thought.

I have noticed for quite a while that there are often discussions around how men should honor  their wives and treat them with respect. Love them, put them on a pedastool, all that kind of thing. Which I, as a woman, think is wonderful. I love that my husband adores me and treats me well. But I've also noticed that there seems to be something missing in these talks. What about the reciprocal? Shouldn't we, as women, respect our husbands? Not just respect the priesthood, which we are often reminded of, but respect the person who holds the priesthood as well.

Think about it. How often have you come online to see someone complaining about their spouse? I've seen it quite often and more often than not it's a woman complaining about her husband. The same man who goes to work day after day and does what he can to supply a good living for the family. He has trials and difficulties which I'm sure are never discussed with her and yet she, in a moment of frustration or anger, lashes out online and talks about his most intimate problems.

How would we, as women, feel if our husbands were to do that? I don't think it would be tolerated for one minute. If we "walked into" a chatroom where men were complaining about their wives the women in the room would go ballistic with all kinds of accusations and name calling.

I hope to always honor my husband. I know I fall short at times with my own husband, but I keep trying and I know he forgives me when I miss the mark. My husband is a wonderful man; I only hope each of you have such a great spouse.

Take a few moments each day to think of the wonderful things your spouse does. Remember the good and the effort. Ponder on the intent and what's in their heart. Let's all honor our spouses; whether they're husbands or wives.
