This week in class, we talked about how to communicate within our marriages and our families and how we do it effects both of those. We have all heard about how important communication is in our marriages and how it can make or break a marriage. I think people usually assume it's either there or it's not and that's what determines the success of their marriage. This is far from the truth. The key is really how you communicate. Knowing how to argue, and making sure that communication is a priority even when you are busy with work, kids, and other outside influences in your marriage. As members of the church, we also need to remember to keep God in our marriage and the decisions we make. I love all the examples of Brother Williams being blessed by him and his wife involving the Lord in all their decisions. They didn't always know how or why they were to do something, but they knew that it was the will of the Lord and that was all that mattered and they eventually were able to see why it happened they way it did and the blessings that came from it. I think that would have a huge impact on marriages for the good because when a big decision needs to be made there is often a lot of stress and that can influence the way we talk about it or even the decision itself and that could result in bad decisions, but if we involve the Lord, we can have a clear mind, make the decision with good intent, and have it not pull spouses apart, but bring them closer together. As long as we keep respect and love in our marriage when communicating and involve the Lord, there isn't a lot of room for error, and even more room for growth and love.
