Answer: Haha! Some things are exactly how I thought they would be: husband I love and he loves me, 4-5 children, grandchildren, pets, home, baking cookies, going to church, roast beef Sunday dinners, attending the temple, reading stories, doing laundry, mopping floors, taking vacations, etc.
Some things are exactly not how I thought they would be: living in the fantasy world of white picket fences where everything is fair and right and equal. If you make right choices it means everything goes smoothly. Oh, I am laughing as I'm writing this thinking back to my pre-marriage and early marriage dreams! I was so naive! When I was in YW the lesson focus was on the premise that if you chose the right and got married in the temple you had arrived and life would unfold blissfully. Well, life is good, and yes correct choices do bring some blessings immediately and always eventually, but it doesn't stop Life from happening. Hopefully we are now teaching our youth that choosing the right and getting to the temple are the tools we use to navigate those stormy seas on our journey to the true dream of exaltation and eternal families in the life to come.
