Let The Adventure Begin

I know that it is very important to build relationships with In-laws because they become family too. You always hear that saying about when you marry that person, you marry their family. It's so true because yes you are marrying that person, but you are going to be a part of their family and spend a lot of time with them so it's important to accept them into your family just life you would want to be accepted and welcomed into theirs. I only have two in-laws right now and they are so great! I am about to be married so I will get to be an in-law to his family and he will get to be an in-law to my family.  It can be hard to get along with in-laws sometimes because it's like you are almost getting another sibling that is married to your sibling and so you sometimes treat them like how you would treat your siblings. Sometimes it's hard to not got offended by what they say to you like if they tease you or sometimes they say something that can be hurtful. You have to get a...

President Eyring gives a great talk about becoming one in our marriages and what we can do to become one between us and our spouse. He talks about how the Savior spoke of "unity and how we will have our natures changed to make it possible."

The Spirit unifies families together and makes it a place in our homes wher...

We have prophets of new and prophets of old that tell us the importance of physical intimacy. They each share many great quotes that helped me understand the importance of physical intimacy in a marriage. There are many ways that you can share physical intimacy between you and your spouse. Some couples aren't big on physical intimacy, but use loving words and gifts to show love for each other. My fiance, (soon to be husband in about a month) and I do like using physical intimacy. We can hold hands when we're together, or cuddle on the couch while we watch a movie. We love being close to each other and this is mainly our way of how we show our love for each other. I love President Spencer W. Kimball's quote about intimacy in marriage. He says, "It is the destiny of men and women to join us together to make eternal family units. In the context of lawful marriage, the intimacy of sexual relations is right and divinely approved. There is nothing unholy or degrading about ...
