Last week, we had the opportunity to learn more about the importance of sexual intimacy and family life. When it comes to a marriage,there are three main part which work together: physical, emotional, and spiritual. Each of these three aspects of marriage work together. There is one connection. What is that connection of these three vital parts of marriage?
COOPERATION
When a couple works together, they are able to find out what is best for the other. Along with cooperation and working together comes the part of marriage we will call the "SAFETY BELT". This "safety belt" in a marriage is having appropriate boundaries. One of the quotes brought up in discussing in class is one which I really like:
"The grass is always greener on the side you water."
What does this quote have to do with boundaries? It is simple. Your spouse should be the person of which you share your thoughts and concerns with. It is part of the boundaries which should be set from day one of a marriage. When you share emotional conversations with someone, you begin to make bonds and connections. This is why it is so vital you are sharing these conversations with your spouse to keep you within the boundaries you made with him or her. Hence the previous quote, whichever side of "grass" you water (in this case, the people you chose to share personal information with) is the side which will grow. To put is bluntly, this can be a good affair prevention tool in a marriage.
Marriage is one of the highest priorities in life. Work hard to have those bonds with each other to make a LASTING MARRIAGE
