“Wherefore, be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great.” (D&C 64:33)
As I read this scripture, all the little things we can do for our spouse come to my mind so the relationship will be better every day. We do not have to do extraordinary things for the other to express how much we care and how much we love then. Things like sending a text saying, “I love you” or “I miss you”; preparing a meal that your spouse likes, or kiss her hand while driving the car, tell her how beautiful she is, just because. These are the things that I receive from my husband that are not extraordinary at all and that make me the happiest woman in the world at that moment. Making our spouse feel special will undoubtedly help strengthen our relationship.
One of the things that has helped our marriage the most is that both of us have the gospel in our lives. Having faith in Christ has been our support to move forward with our family and our marriage. We have tried to do what President Ezra Taft Benson advice ” Put God first ” in our marriage. Not everything is beautiful and not every day I feel like the happiest woman in the world, however our faith in Jesus Christ is what has helped us to overcome the challenges and trials we receive.
It is not always easy to apply that trust in Jesus Christ when trials are difficult, but when both people want to save the marriage, and both work together to make changes in improving the relationship, I believe that there will never be a very difficult challenge to overcome. Unless it is a relationship where there is physical or emotional abuse, or infidelity. If that is not the case, then I personally believe that other things are easier to fix. sometimes we see the big problems within marriage, but if we try to work on it, over time those problems become very small, to the extent that they do not affect our marriage.
I like to think about the covenant I have made with my husband and the goal of living eternally with him and my family to be able to overcome the difficulties we constantly find in our path. This also helps me stay emotionally connected with him.
