Family Relations Week 6

Preparing For Marriage

Preparing for marriage is a big step for a man and a woman. I heard marriage can be enjoyable and exciting. However, it is hard work and couples need to work together as a team to keep their marriage strong. In class on Tuesday, we learned about the “Know-Quo” and what it means. There are three lists on what couples can do to spend time together and how to put your marriage first. First, Talk. Which means mutual self-dis-closer. Couples should talk together every day and share their thoughts and feelings with each other. Married couples should openly communicate their view points about certain subjects. Second, togetherness. This means spending time together and doing activities together. If couples have school or work that gets in the way of spending time together, they should make room in their schedule for their spouse. Spending time with your spouse builds a strong relationship and can help you have a good time together. Third, Time. Spend more quality time with your spouse by putting them first. If you make the time to get to know your spouse, you will feel joy, peace, and love. If you put your time with spouse, you will get to know them really well and understand who they are. If married couples know each other extremely well and understand who they are, they will trust their spouses and commit to them at all times.

Marriage can be hard work, but at the same time it can be fun if you make it fun. Remember, always prepare for marriage. Men and women should be prepared financially, have everything planed early before you get married, and practice communicating with your spouse, so that way you are on the same page all the time. Most importantly in marriage, always tell your spouse that you love them, serve them, and enjoy the best moments together. Make your marriage worth it!
