This week in class we have been discussing "Transitions of Marriage". We have been discussing a lot about the sacrifices that we make when we enter into a marriage. I have been married for a little over 4 years now and it has not been easy but we have endured many hard times and we have become stronger because of these things. For many of us, there are many things that we need to sacrifice that are a part of being married, whether its time, talents, or material things. For a lot of us, we haven't really lived with a woman that wasn't our sister or mom, it can be a big adjustment for some.
I had some major adjustments for marriage, I haven't lived with another woman that wasn't family and I have also not had to share a bed with another human, it was definitely a huge adjustment. Sharing a bed with my wife was a huge adjustment because we were two different types of sleepers and had a lot of trouble with sharing the bed evenly. I was the kind of person that would sleep above the covers and only use a blanket, I would also only sleep with the fan on no matter how cold it was outside. My wife on the other hand likes to bundle blankets and she is always cold so the fan was quite the adjustment for her and now she likes to sleep with the fan on and she can't sleep the same without it.
Another transition that I had to over come was having to share everything with another person and experience life and share experiences with another person. It was hard at first to live with a woman and share counter space or other aspects of life that I haven't had to share before. We each have our own things that we have in the bathroom and it was hard to find places for all of it and still not have the all of it on the counter so we have room for the necessities in the proper spots. It was big adjustment that each of us needed to have and it allowed us to grow together and grow in these experiences.
There are many challenges and adjustments that are required to enter into marriage but we all have to go through these things in order to make a marriage last. Marriage is an important part of life and it can give you the happiness that nothing else can during this life, it can provide you the experiences that will allow you to become closer to your significant other and have these experiences that will draw closer to those in your life. I think that marriage is vital to every part of your life and that being married can give you the things that are important in life.
As a member of the LDS church, marriage is the most important part on the Earth for our progression back to our Father. The sealing power invested in many of the Earth is the most important power that one can have during life and it allows us to enter into the kingdom and further enhance our eternal progression after this life. A sealing is the single most important ordinance required for our entrance into the kingdom. The sealing that brought my wife and I together was the most sacred and important part of our lives together. It bonded us together for eternity and it is the most important thing that can be done during this life.
In conclusion, marriage is a sacred and important part of this life and it can bring many things that cannot be brought any other way. Being in a marriage, it can give those involved the opportunity the happiness that can be shared between husband and wife.
