D&C 64:33 "Wherefore, be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great."
When we think about turning toward one another from the grand scheme of things, it seems like such a small and simple thing to do. It seems to be like something that shouldn’t take much effort to do, but in some cases, it takes a great deal of effort. I can relate to the story we read of the husband making the choice to turn to his wife. I am just where he was. I can be social when I’m out in public, but when I am home I just like to be alone and re-charge. I have known that this is something I need to change, but it has really been a priority these past couple weeks.
I decided to start Dr. Gottman’s 7 week course in Fondness and Admiration last week and it has helped me focus on my husband which has dominoed into me turning toward him more. We have spent a lot of time talking with each other in the mornings before work and when we come together in the evening. I feel so much more connected to him on a deeper level.
I know that even though these are small and seemingly insignificant things, it is these small things that help bring us together and feel more united. And something the small and routine things are the hardest to do, but they can be worth the effort. Focusing more on my spouse and learning to always turn toward him are skills that I need to learn and master and I know that our marriage will be blessed and strengthened by them.
