Over the past few days as I have made an effort to think of the things
I love about my husband, I feel like our relationship is improving. I
have been making a mental list of things I love about my husband and I
have found that my list goes on and on. This week, I am finding my
husband's jokes funnier, his sweet little gestures seem sweeter, and he
isn't getting on my nerves as much.

I loved this quote from Elder Maxwell! I think that he is saying that
the people around us provide our trials and tribulations and God gives
us the people and relationships around us to provide us with adversity
and trial so that we can overcome.

of the sacrifices that I have made willingly for my husband was to move
out of state for him to pursue his career. Before the move, I was
eager and very supportive, but there are times I just miss my family. We
moved to a really hot area too and sometimes I just miss the colder
climates. It gets lonely staying at home and caring for our little ones
at times, especially not knowing very many people. I noticed that when I
can get out of the house, I complain less and feel less resentment.
5. As
I think about and ponder ways to apply these principles I am getting
feelings and impressions that I need to stop waiting for reciprocity
from my husband and just give willingly and openly. Sometimes, marriage
is give and take, but it needs to be mostly give.
