Being a Husband

I took my brother to the Utah football home opener the other day.  It gave us some time to not think about work but to hang out and just chat.  It was a lot of fun.  We get along real well.  It was interesting as we chatted.  We began to talk about our wives and how grateful we are for the lives we have and for our wives that treat us so well and take care of us.  I do not mean to say that life is not perfect, but it was really nice to share things  with each other that made us both realize, I believe, that we were not appreciating what we have to its fullest.  There is so much to be grateful for, and as I read the August Ensign about marriage I realized what I was not doing and therefore as I was not feeling fulfilled, I was becoming more selfish.  That selfishness was getting me no where.  A change of tune, I mean immediate, and more service to my wife and kids really helped things turn for the better.  It is better to serve and be wrong that to not serve and think you are right.
