Expressions of Love

This video is a great reminder of the little things we can do to remind our spouse that we love them. I love the one man that said it has to be forever because they have come to far for it to get this good and it not be forever. Doing these small things can help keep marriages strong, especially when times get tough.

Saving Your Marriage

This is a great Mormon Message with excerpts from Elder Oaks talk that I shared a few days ago.

Divorce

Marriage is hard. It is pretty much impossible to get along with someone 100% of the time. Elder Dallin H. Oaks talks about not giving up on our marriage just because hard times have hit. He tells us what we can do to keep our marriage strong and how to keep going and not giving up. He also talks about the affect divorce can have on children. I think one of the key things he talked about is praying together and working together to keep the marriage going. This is a great talk. Listen to it and let me know your thoughts.

Nurturing Marriage

I really enjoyed this talk by Elder Russell M. Nelson. The story he shares at the beginning was intriguing and I think we can all relate to it in one way or another. The wife was trying to show her husband that she loved him but the husband was focused on his electronic device. Are there times we are so focused on some piece of technology or a hobby of ours that we forget to pay attention to our spouse? I liked the quote by Elder Nelson when he said "The foremost priesthood duty is to nurture your marriage - to care for, respect, honor and love your wife. Be a blessing to her and your children." Read or listen to this talk, it is really good, and let me know your thoughts. What did you like about it?

Strengthening Marriage

There are several ways we can strengthen our marriages but the most important ones are love and service. Finding ways to show your spouse that you love them can be easy by simply serving them. This Mormon Message shows the love this man has for his wife by how much he serves her each day. I especially love the quote at the end by Richard G. Scott from the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. "Marriage provides an ideal setting for overcoming any tendency to be selfish or self-centered...Pure love is an incomparable, potent power for good, and the foundation of a successful marriage."

P.S. You might need a tissue for this because it is a tear jerker.
