Dear Bro Jo,
My parents are divorced and my mom's forays into the dating world have not been great experiences for her.
As such her view on dating, marriage and sometimes even men in general is not very positive.
I really would like to hear how great being married is and how it can last, happily, forever.
I know it's possible but sometimes this negative perspective really brings me down and sometimes I begin to doubt.
Sincerely,
Anon
Dear Anon,
Being married is lots of hard work, and sometimes even getting there seems like a huge mountain to climb.
There are trials, heartaches, arguments, and every emotion you can imagine.
There are tears, fears, and things so difficult you can't possibly know what they're like until you live them.
Despite all of that, being married is the best thing in the world!
Find a good companion and be a good companion and every trial and tribulation will be worth it.
Not easy. But worth it.
- Bro Jo

I absolutely believe that you can make your marriage anything you want it to be as long as you have good communication with your spouse and you listen to each other. I wear an opal ring on a necklace chain every day to remind me that that kind of marriage is what I'm constantly and ultimately working towards. Bro Jo is definitely right. Marriage is hard work. But he's also right in saying that it's worth it. Being sealed to your best friend for eternity has got to be the greatest and most wonderful thing possible. Besides, you don't get as much joy out of something unless you've worked for/at it, right?
