the forgiveness snowball

Forgiveness is so vital in marriage . Everybody makes mistakes , when you live with someone every day their bound to offend you , annoy you , make you mad or vice versa you will do the same . Sometimes it happens on accident and unfortunely sometimes on purpose.  If you dwell on what happen it was cause more problems on your relationship and it will have a compounding affect where you will more then likely get mad at other things too . The friendship is threatened when holding bad feelings and having contention in the marriage . As the scriptures say contention is of the devil and as Christ says we are commanded to forgive everyone .  
When there is a disturbance or conflict in the marriage and we choose to forgive there is much more harmony in the relationship and we can move forward with the spirit in our homes and lives .
President monsons wise words “choose your love and love your choice “ we chose each other and part of loving one another is forgiving one another .

That ugly Pride

 I am a mum of 4 with a husband who is very forgiving of my issues including my need to be right over and over again, I figure he is just living true to the motto happy wife happy life. Ok all jokes aside this has actually been yet another lesson we have had to learn in our marriage   how it isn’t always about who is right and how we need to choose our battles .I remember a quote from President Monson “ never  let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved” . Sometimes I feel this to be true in marriage the problem being the argument or matter that is drawing you to the point of not letting your pride down to see the other side of the story or, to see or even acknowledge that maybe just maybe you are in the wrong in this battle.  I have spoken about this before on my blog of the years and years long battle I have had with my husband about where to live. He wants to live in America and I want to stay in Australia , there is good...

gridlocked

gridlocked Gottman said when talking about working on gridlocked marital issues “Understand that working on these issues will take time. You may find that when you first begin to recognize and acknowledge your dreams, the problems between you seem to worsen rather than improve . Be patient. Acknowledging and advocating for your dreams is not easy . The very nature of gridlock means that your dreams appear to be in opposition, so you’ve both become deeply entrenched in your positions and fear accepting each others influence and yielding”.   The gridlocked disagreements share four characteristics You’ve had the same argument again and again with no resolution Neither of you can address the issue with humor, empathy or affection The issue is becoming increasingly polarizing because it would mean selling out – giving up something important and core to your beliefs, values or sense of self. So of course it seems only logic to avoid gridlock in the first place and enjo...

Be Present

Only those who believe deeply and actively and, in the family, will be able to preserve their families in the midst of the gathering evil around us. President Spencer W Kimball  (Anchorage, Alaska, regional conference, 18 June 1995). I know I that I am feeling the gathering of evil more than ever, and more than ever am I feeling the attack on the family starting with the husband and wife.   I’m not sure if it has always been like this and only now my eyes are being opened as I watch those close by to me who either have struggling marriages or some failed marriages. Which have started with temptations or the desire for more of what the world offers for happiness. Evil is also at our fingertips with how much is available through social media , I know there is also so many great things about technology including the ability to connect with loved ones. It reminds me of a talk by Elder Bednar “I raise an apostolic voice of warning about the potentially stifling, suffocati...
