My husband and I are planning on setting aside time to attend the temple more often. We will also make time to read our scriptures and pray together, morning and night. I plan on pleading with Heavenly Father to show me how I can be a better convent wife to my husband.
I feel the excessive debt is detrimental to our society. Couples have put themselves in extreme debt. Husbands and wives argue with each other. I have seen excessive debt cause divorces. I have seen it cause couples to lose everything they own. It is a sad situation. They are trying to make the bills but not being able to.
The most important lesson I learned regarding the genogram I completed this week is that I have a lot of divorces within my family. It is a legacy that I don’t wish to pass along to my children and grandchildren. I knew that there was a lot of divorces in my family, but my eyes were open this week to exactly how many. It has me wondering why all of the divorces. Is it because it is what we have grown up to see? I learned that my paternal grandparents were married until death, but all of their sons were divorced at least once. This makes me wonder why?
I have seen many marriages, but not a lot of them lasting. I only have one set of grandparents that were married till death. The other set was divorced, and it was carried down to most of their children. Then that spilled down to most of my cousins and me. I hope that I can stop this tend with my children and grandchildren. I hope that I can show them what a convent marriage looks like and that a convent marriage is a lasting one. That the contractual marriages can last, but most don’t when things in the marriage get tough.
