Keeping Marriage Strong

I missed this great lesson but our RS Pres passed on these notes for reflection:


I  wanted to share a highlight of our RS lesson last Sunday.  Our lesson was on marriage, and Liz Eaton shared the following words of advice with us:
There is no perfect marriage...just a perfect desire to make your marriage work!
Every marriage has trials, big and small, and usually a steady stream....but this is how we grow!
Most important...ALWAYS forgive!!! The little daily stuff and the really BIG stuff!!

Serve him! This is not outdated or old fashioned. It does not make you a doormat. It makes you someone that has a Christ- like attribute!
In hard times, PRAY to love him...never hurts to have the Lord on your side!
Spend time together, quality time.
When you need someone to confide in, or cry to, or celebrate with, or get advice from, or laugh with,        don't turn to your mother/girlfriend/neighbor/co-worker...turn to your husband!!! Learn to rely on and trust him!!!  He will rise to the occasion :)

Quote... applies to us too ladies :)
" Let me assure you, Brethren, that some day you will have a personal priesthood interview with the Savior himself. If you are interested, I will tell you the order in which he will ask you to account for your earthly responsibilities. First, he will request an accountability report about your relationship with your wife. Have you been actively engaged in making her happy and ensuring that her needs have been met as a individual?" President David O. McKay

Make your man your #1 priority!!!! He is your Eternal Destiny :)
