On a random note, San Bernadino was founded as a Mormon Colony. Apparently a lot of places in California were. (I'm doing research on So. Cal)
I read something interesting in the Ensign today. D&C 42:22 says, "Thou shalt love thy wife with all they heart, and shalt cleave unto her and none else." President Spencer W. Kimball descibed "none else" very completely. The commitment between spouses should be stronger than any other commitment, including children, friends, careers, hobbies, and Church callings. Theodore Hesburgh, president of the University of Notre Dame, said, "The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother."
I have always believed that you should love your spouse more than your children, but a lot of people disagree with me. What do you think?

Thank my great great grandpa for that, places in CA being setteled. Go Mormon Batallion!
that's why the scrapbook places that aren't in utah are in california!
post what you learn...I <3 southern california, my first two choice schools are there!
Child or spouse. Interesting. A mother's bond those first years might be the strongest bond, but it is a bond that loosens as it should. I think it's hormonal, an instintive desire to preserve the future. But it's also love of the love between the spouses.
There is enough love in the heart for all. I don't like division of love. I don't. I just love. Didn't Jesus?
Yes- I didn't mean to phrase it in a divisive way, I just think that husbands and wifes should love each other and put each other first. This will teach the children how to love and provide them a loving atmostphere. To often parents put children first and so the children learn to be loved but do not learn how to love others.
