This hit me with so much truth. I knew it to be true. In just the year and a half your father and I have been married, we have learned a lot. I also know that there is still MUCH to learn but I do know that it is my decision whether or not I have a good marriage. It is also your father's decision. It takes work. Aside from all this "good marriage" talk, I decided that if there was one thing I needed to take away from this, it's that you need to know that I LOVE your daddy. You need to know why I love your daddy and the commitments I'm making to him and therefore to you since marriage and parenting go hand in hand.
I love your daddy because he is a man of God. He isn't just a man of God because he holds the Priesthood, serves his fellow men, prays with me each night, reads the holy scriptures to me or sits by me in church each week. He is a man of God because he chooses to be. He genuinely strives to be his best and I observe each attempt he makes at it. The best part of all of this is that the Savior is the center of our relationship. Heavenly Father reminds me through the Holy Ghost that your daddy loves me even when your daddy isn't here to remind me himself. That's how I know your father is a man of God and that is one of the biggest reasons I love him so deeply.
I love your daddy because he receives genuine pleasure from making me happy. He jumps at any chance to do something for me. So much, in fact, that a common question for him to ask me (basically daily) is "Is there anything I can do for you sweetheart?" Little things he likes to do might be setting up a candlelight bath, bringing home flowers or sugary requests, massaging my feet after a long day at work, giving me his "back scratch nights" when we read the scriptures, doing the chores, leaving me cute love notes, opening my every door, making sure I don't lift a finger when he can go get whatever I need himself (especially after being pregnant with you), and accompanying me to chick flicks (even though I know he secretly likes them)! But it's the things he doesn't realize he routinely does for me that leave the biggest impact--working 5 days a week for 10-12 hour shifts sometimes then going to school right after to receive an education to provide a future for his family, listening to me rant, cry, rave, or just talk about how my day went, a genuine look of love followed by "you're beautiful", the warm embraces he greets me with when I haven't seen him all day (I could stay in his arms forever!), the way he makes me feel completely comfortable and at home, and the example he sets for me each day.
Because marriage can be difficult at times (even living with your best friend can be hard), I'm going to make commitments to myself, daddy and you right now to vow never to let unnecessary annoyances that come from the adversary ruin the holy marriage your father and I share. 
I commit to let every bad thought that enters my head turn into an "I love you." I vow to always encounter and address any issues we come across with love, healthy communication and the Spirit. I commit to do my best every day to make my family happy by never complaining of endless lists that come with being a wife, homemaker and mother. I commit to enjoy the journey no matter how grumpy we all may be.
Most of all, I commit myself to Christ, daddy and you one hundred percent in ALL things. I'm not promising to be good at any of these commitments, but I'm promising to try.
These are all of the reasons I love your daddy and therefore all of the reasons, I hope you turn out EXACTLY like him. I hope that our marriage will represent unconditional love to you and your future brothers and sisters. I love your daddy!
