thoughts on a monday…

Marriage just has to be our number
one priority – over extended family and even over children….. if our marriage
fails, it doesn’t matter what great care we took of the children.  SO,
go love up your spouse!  Give him/her a big hug and a nice kiss!  Ask
him/her if s/he’s happy in the marriage and what you can do to help him/her be
happier!  Then, DO IT!!!!!  If it’s really, really hard, ask Heavenly
Father to help you change!  In your couple prayers, ask to become
better friends, better support to each other, to recognize and respect each
other’s strengths.  Pray for and work on your marriages!  Attend the
temple together often!  If you’re feeling frustrated or discouraged, don’t
be afraid to go to a marriage counselor!  I’ll cheer for you!  We
don’t have to think that having a rough spot in marriage is a bad thing – it’s
normal.  We just have to know the tools to work through it.  (advice from shelle 7.10.06)

thanks, shelle for pearls of wisdom. a great reminder for me today that a marriage must ALWAYS be nurtured. if i get complacent thinking that i’m a wonderful wife…i’m in big trouble.

so, i’m gonna make sure he knows he’s numero uno today. hubba hubba. 🙂
