So this past Friday was definitely my favorite day in Family Relations! I figured that it was really too good to just pick a few things to write about, so I'm just gonna type out the notes that I took! Fair enough? Great! P.S. They are basically all bullet points. So here goes:
-Families being overly involved in a husband-wife relationship can prevent the couple from becoming one. (Setting boundaries between parents/families is important.)
-Talking to parents about marital problems - rather than your spouse - can cause a wedge and lack of confidence in the relationship.
-REMEMBER THE GOOD THINGS.
-Don't critisize each other; appreciate and express that appreciation clearly.
-Be careful in how you present things to each other.
-Look for opportunities to work together and serve one another.
-When pregnant, keep the husband involved and do it all together; baby shopping, go to checkups/doctor visits, talk and be ready for the baby, labor preparation as well as actual labor, choosing the name, etc.
-Plan time for each other.
-Be open and kind and accomidate each other.
Some of theses things I'd never even thought of before! But I realize how important they are to keep a healthy relationship and to grow closer together as husband and wife.
