Turn Towards One Another

Recently I have been considering how incredibly important it is to have a marriage where you are both committed to the things that matter most. A marriage where you both place value in the same things, or at least truly understand the value of something to the other partner. This involves a lot of communication. I think it also involves being humble and seeking to be understanding and compassionate towards your partner. Once again, I think that this is easier done if you are focusing your life on the Atonement of Jesus Christ. When you and your spouse, as individuals and as a couple are trying to be more Christlike, and trying to build faith, then you can increase your humility and lovingness in your relationship. With these feelings there is a greater ability to communicate and understand one another. 

True Love

Today is Valentine's Day and that seems like an appropriate day to make a post about marriage and true love. 

Marriage is situation which requires the companions to be selfless and giving in order for there to be harmony and peace. Marriage is work. It requires the very best of us. In order to have harmony and peace in our marriage, we must put the needs and desires of our spouse before our own. If they are doing the same thing for us, then we will be in harmony. 

Sometimes in marriage, we feel that our spouse is not doing their part or putting our needs first. This does occasionally happen on both sides as we grow as humans. That is why we must have a marriage which is also centered in Christ. As we center our lives and our marriages on Christ, we grow together, and repent and change for the better. As we draw nearer unto Christ, we draw nearer to one another, and become more selfless in our marriage. 

These aspects, create true love. True charity. This leads us to harmony and peace in our marriage.
