Spend Time in personal prayer, then write a letter of commitment and resolve to your souse. Include why you are committing to this marriage until death, and that you have purposed to love them no matter what. Leave it in a place that your mate will find it.In today's society people seem to get divorced at the drop of a hat. They don't really have a deep commitment, that says I here for you even when you disappoint me and when times get hard. I believe one of the reasons that marriage is so important, is that it is in this relationship that you really refine your character. Where else are we so vulnerable and can be hurt so much? Where else can we become what we are meant to become?
In my scripture study today I was reading in Jacob 7. Where Sherem challenges Jacob, then admits he has lied to the people and to God. Then he dies. Then the people searched the scriptures. Would they have been sucked into Sherem's lies if they had been searching the scriptures before hand and had gotten to know them?
Learning of Christ. There is so much out their to help in learning about Christ. The scriptures are the best source. Also the words of the prophets and apostles. I like what Elder Jeffrey R. Holland says:
... we must be firmly attached to Him...Not a weak link, but firmly attached.
