Marriage: The Continuous Challenge

Marriage is not easy! Maybe I haven't been married, but I have seen it in my own family, on the television, and the divorce rate helps me know that it really is NOT easy. Everyday will be a challenge. You will have to make an effort to better your marriage every moment. Think about what is best for your relationship and be uplifting and encouraging to each other. As I read the books assigned to us, I realized that both of them talked much about paying attention to the needs of your spouse and learning to sacrifice your wants for those of your companion. I loved Goddard's book because he talked a lot about making the gospel the center of your home. When we do this- I know the problems will surely become easier to handle. They will never go away, but they will be more approachable. I have dreams of doing something nice and unexpected for my husband everyday! When you are in love, you want to do everything and anything for your partner, and they want to do it back! When we serve others, they are more prone to serve as well. I am grateful for this class, because I have learned much about marriage and how to keep it going strong!
