Survey

Brad and I were married in 2006, which just happened to be the year that Utah State University started a research study of "re-marriages". So once a year (only twice so far) we both get a survey with tons of questions that would apply to the life of a re-married person. It is fun to do because it really makes you think long and hard on some topics you may not have. The questions range from everything from hobbies, physical relations, finances, children, religion, etc etc. I try to be blatantly honest on these surveys, or else what good would my input be?

I was pleased when I finished my survey tonight. I can honestly say that this past year we have made great improvements in our family. We have worked through personality conflicts, tempers, wants vs. needs, humility... and moved further ahead in greater acceptance of each member of the family as an "Individual", giving more than we take, and unconditional love. I will be the first to admit that we are far from the "picture perfect" family. But we are giving the Cleaver's a run for their money :)
