Marriage

 

I have to tell you something, I`m just loving this class so for. To be honest at the beginning, I picked this class because a friend told me that it was easy to get a good grade, so a registered for this one, but later I figured out how this class was important to me and my family. In fact, I`m learning a lot of new things, and every day I am able to share something wife my wife at home.

Talking about my wife, this week we learned about marriage and how sacred is this commitment with another person. Brother Williams made me think about how marriage in my country in our days is, and I know its not seen as something sacred anymore. People are just co-habitating with each other and they don`t want to make a real commitment. I have a cousin and his “wife’’ which is a perfect example of that. First, I want to say that they are one of the best people in the world, they love God, but they are not members of The Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints. They are almost ten years together, they have two adorable kids, and they all live together, they all love one another, but they are not actually married. Once I asked him the reason why he don`t proposed her, and he said that if they make a commitment, they can star having some problems in their relationship. This is happening a lot in my country, when I was in my mission, a lot of times we found this perfect family, they went to church every Sunday, but the couple was not married. Sometimes they would wait and get married, but others just don`t want the commitment. I asked them often the reason why they don’t marry for real, and they often say that its too expensive to marry, or they just don’t want to be really attached to another person. For me, the opposite happened. I grew up in a good family, my parents told me and showed me that marriage was important. I could see their happiness even in those bad days when they were fighting. Few months after my mission I started to date an incredible girl, soon we got engaged and we married one year after. I learned a lot about how marriage is sacred and good for a human being. I just can’t see how is worth the money you spend and all the stress you face before the wedding day. I can`t imagine where I would be without her in my life. Of course, it was not good at all the times, we had some sad fights that we both regrets, but we grew a lot together. I never thought that I could love her this much. She doesn’t know but sometimes while she is shopping or cooking I`m just there looking at her and thinking about how lucky I am. Now we are thinking about a bigger step and growing are family. It’s a huge decision, but we are married for about five years now, and we really think that we are ready for this. I keep thinking about how fun can be to raise some kids with her. I know that se will be the best mom ever, because she is the best wife ever. Actually, I need to start a new habit and starts to tell her all those things that I think, I know that se will be very happy to know that I am super proud of her. So for those who are still thinking about getting married, I just say Go Ahead and be happy.
