The talks/lesson in church today were about marriage. Now in a singles ward, everyone would have rolled their eyes, started to look around, giggling, and trying to feel "inspired" as to who their "tru wuv" in the room could be..or the awkward feeling of sitting next to a guy friend and hoping that he wasnt thinking that you were the "one,the tru wuv". But in a boring married ward, theirs no worries about any of those feelings, the talks were directed on how we can work on strengthening our marriage to become One with God. I find that being married a WHOLE YEAR(holla), I am certainly no expert at being married, but I am grateful for the things that have helped Evan and me on our amazing adventure (refer to Year One blog post).
Heres a few additional Secrets to a Happy Marriage that we learned about today that could be helpful when applied:
1. Praying each day for the strength of your marriage (i love the word strength, its not often we pray particularily for the "strength" of our marriage, but more so other things.)
2. Find unique ways to express love at unexpected moments. (random ways that cost no money.)
3. Setting goals together and then presenting them to Heavenly Father for His approval.
4. Recognize that when emotions are high and logic is low--postpone making big decisions.
We are a COVENANT COUPLE, not just a married couple.(thanks for the words of wisdom Uncle Georges Bonnett)
