President Henry B. Eyring states, "There is nothing more important than honoring the marriage and family covenants you have made or will make in the temples of God."
Has anyone ever asked him/herself how to become marriage able? We all want to be married right? Men would say, I haven't found the one for me. Women say, there are no prospective men out there, especially for them. We forgetting that "WE are to be marriageabe." My question is How to be marriage able?
I think for me you need to compromise if you you want the marriage works and be honest to each other and don't let others to take decision for your marriage but let them Advice I think that way marriage will be able
That is an insightful question, I feel that forms part of the discussion we must have.
Like the old adage goes" if you want the right person, be that person" we need to look inwardly instead of stressing about other people. If we live for marriage, we will surely be blessed with the blessings of marriage.
Thank you for your comments guys. That is the thing. Most us just want to get married but not realizing we need to fix ourselves first. Yes, we wait upon the timing of the Lord but He expects us to do something. I have heard people say. He/she will have to love me for who I am. Yes, that is partially true. Don't be comfortable with who you are now. I am not sure who quoted this, Elder Holland or something, " come as you are but don't stay as you."
I think open communication with your spouse is highly needed in being marriage able... But mostly having a open communication with yourself... What do you want? What traits do you need in your spouse? What are eternal red flags? What have you got to offer? How far are you in becoming the person you want to marry... Its soo easy to get caught up with the social trends and views and opinions on how marriages should be. That we put pressure on ourselves and our spouses... Open communication with yourself and spouse.. Will protect how you choose your marriage to be..
Hey friends This week we learned about same sex marriage. We all know we live in a world that is free, and everyone’s voice is respected and sometimes taking into consideration. I know some of us may be against same sex marriages for some different reasons, either cultural or religious beliefs. This is one of the matters; we are to handle with caution. We are all God’s children, He loves us all and that is what he expects of us. To love everyone, it is His commandment. He also commanded us not to judge. I would love to hear from you, your thoughts about gay marriages. Please let us be sensitive to other people’s views as I said before. I also learned that we are to be defenders of marriage. Even with this other people have different opinions, but that does not mean they are less human. Others have deep wounds regarding this top that is why it is my plea to be sensitive. Marriage is such a beautiful thing when based on a correct foundation. One person said, “A flower cannot produce good flowers if it is not watered and taken care of.” Just like marriages, they blossom as we take care of them. We are advised to never stop dating when we are married. Yes, we may have responsibilities, as taking care of our children, work, house chores and all that. Marriages work best when mom and dad take care of themselves, at least my opinion. If mom and dad are in good terms, then they are in a better position to take care of their home. My husband and I make sure to have a date at least once a week, make time for each other in our busy schedules. We do not have a babysitter, what we do we put our daughter to sleep and make some popcorns sometimes and have a movie night. We do not need to have money to make these things. I am not saying I am better, but doing that has been helping us to remind ourselves why fell in love with each other. What are your thoughts on cultivating our marriages?
#episode 2: First of all, let me say, a very delicate and sensitive topic just like you said.
Same sex marriage, is like all other sins. " Don't judge me because I sin differently" the adage goes. We are not called upon to judge people, because they live in a certain way, however we are called to love everyone. There's two judges in Israel, on this side a Bishop and on the other side "The Holy One of Israel. With all of that said, we have no right to condone things that God, has condemned. And He is the only that can issue out condemnations. Let us never be found condoning nor condemning, because we don't have the full details of what makes people live in certain ways. But that will not change knowing wrong is wrong.
Our task is mammoth as defenders of marriage, because the contemporary world is fighting against it and promoting the baser things. We must be vigilant, marriage is under siege. We must teach our children right and wrong in terms of sexuality and the correct way to marry. That marriage is between a man and woman.
Great advice there about the continuance of dating in marriage, I can't over-emphasise that.
For me, my views on marriage as a whole are based on my religious beliefs. In fact if I was not religious I think I wouldn't value marriage at all. Marriage is ordained of God and He specified it to be between a man and a woman. He is the inventor of marriage and as such He is the one who knows what works and doesn't work when it comes to marriage. Same sex marriage does not. Going contrary to those specifications he has put forth might be detrimental. It's like buying an electrical appliance and not following the instructions and cautions on the owner's manual. "DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER" it reads. We all know the outcome if that's ignored. A funeral for that appliance and maybe for you too! Ignoring God's instructions on marriage might not be as dramatic but the consequences will surely come.
Hello to you too. Am so excited for this and hope I can be nourished by others and do the same😊
