June 20, 2011 Happy 36th Anniversary

What advice would you give to your children or grandchildren on their wedding day?

Well since each of you are married and I don’t remember any advice that I gave you then I guess I’ll have to give some now that will apply to you as well as your children. My advice is simple. Look closely at some one you are planning to marry and inspect them with the greatest of detail and then once married throw all of your notes away and just love them as best as you can. Forget all of your close friends and make your spouse your closest friend. That doesn’t mean you can’t have friends it just means you don’t frequently call them or confide in them about any of your personal matters in your marriage. Never put them before your spouse, never flirt with them if they are of the opposite gender, never let them be more important than your spouse. Look for ways each day to compliment them on things that they do and always support them in their church callings.
