Mormons get a bad rap because of… well… the fact that they’re known as “Mormons.” It’s crazy how much of a stereotype can be associated with a name. But when it boils down to it, Mormons all around the world are stepping up in their own way during the Christmas season to ensure that Christ is…
Marriage is like crossing the Rocky Mountains with a handcart. You start off, happy, healthy, and full of optimism for the future. The first few hundred miles on the plains are smooth sailing.

As the conference began, President Uchtdorf stepped to the pulpit to address us first. As always, he never disappoints. We love him! But almost…
My marriage started off kind of strange. Actually, it started off really strange. The way it started out made me wonder if I’d have a successful marriage. Let me take you back… Kristyn and I were engaged before I left on a mission for my church. I’d finally met the girl of my dreams while…
