Week 10
Self-reliance and becoming one with someone else. In class today I felt like we covered a very important topic, becoming one with someone and keeping God involved. Sometimes it's hard for us to trust other people, to truly lean on them for help. Developing trust in someone else is very important in a successful relationship, giving them all you have brings you both closer together. Generally, we don’t feel comfortable in asking people for help, it’s a lot easier to give help to them to receive help. That’s interesting, why would we feel more comfortable giving than receiving? If we look at the savior, he was a very loving and caring person, willing to help everyone regardless of their situation. It’s because the savior has unconditional love for all his children, he is willing to do all he can to help us. Being Self-reliant you need to have self-love, being able to love yourself and willing to trust yourself that you can do what is needed and keeping the savior involved. For some of us it is very hard for us to rely on others, although it is a commandment for us to become one mind and one flesh unto another. That sounds challenging, giving you all to someone having total trust in them. I think getting married to someone should mean that you give them your all, trusting them to love you as much as you love them, and a mutual respect. Keeping the Lord involved will also help bring you both closer together, being “one flesh, one heart”. The idea of being complete and whole sounds weird and scary but most people seek companionship. I think one of the most common problems in relationships with trust is sharing finances, money can be a big deal at times. I think that it's because everyone relies on money so much in life, we need it for food, sleep, gas, and everything. Sharing something that you depended on so much and sharing it with someone else can be very hard. How are we able to share something like that with someone else? Life can be scary, having someone that you can truly trust can make life less scary and having the Lord involved, seeking his help in every situation. Keeping the Lord in the relationship will help you make important decisions that will affect both of your lives. The Lord has a plan for each one of us, he knows what's best for us and he loves us unconditionally. I believe that the Lord gives us trials to make us stronger, these trials help us become closer to God and potentially closer to your spouse. When you can work together God is able to help you and out together the peace's that are missing. It takes strength to know that your heavenly father can help you in these different ways. I personally have not been able to experience any miracles from the Lord that have to do with money, but I have seen other miracles in my life that without a doubt I know that if we keep the Lord in our lives, he will be with us every step of the way, he truly loves us. The Lord provides us opportunities for us to grow our faith in him. I know that if we can keep the Lord in our lives and in relationships our faith will grow and become stronger, we will also be closer to our spouse, and you will start to be on with the other. I hope that I can express the importance of trust in the Lord and your spouse can be, the Lord will be able to bless your life. Thank you for reading!
