Welcome to Marriage Makes Perfect!!! 

Just a little about me... my name is Amberley, and I live in Eatonton, GA, which is an extremely tiny town about an hour east of Atlanta. I have been married for about 3 years to my best friend. We have known each other for over 10 years. We met at LDS Business College while we were both getting our associates degrees in accounting and finance. We had a lot of classes together, and did our homework together, and then for a year we worked at the Tutoring lab on campus together.... and plenty of other activities outside of school of course, haha. Then I went on a mission to Russia, and he got married about a month after I got back. Then I got married about a year after that. Then he got divorced, and a year and a half later I got divorced. We remained friends and in contact through facebook through it all, and then finally decided to date and see how it would go, and we ended up getting married 9 months later. It was a crazy, convoluted path to get us to where we are now, but we really couldn't be happier with it.

I bet you are wondering why I named my blog this.... Well, first off, I believe marriage isn't just meant to be a temporary situation, I believe that it is meant to be an eternal relationship that benefits us in many ways now and throughout all eternity. And I believe one of the main purposes of this life, in general, is to help us become like Christ and we will eventually be perfected in Him. Marriage (and parenthood) is one of the best opportunities in our lives to really refine who we are and file off some rough edges. I can't think of any other relationship where in order to be successful you have to give so much of yourself, learn so many Christlike attributes, and really sacrifice for the greater good. But I also can't think of any other relationship that brings so much happiness, lasting joy, fulfillment, and growth.

So marriage not only brings us individually closer to being perfect and more Christlike by helping us to grow and improve, but also makes life a little more perfect because of the joy and happiness that comes throughout life together with your partner.

~See you next week!~
