So this past few weeks have been kinda crazy. I started working full time (between 2 jobs) and work late 3 days a week and I seem to be exhausted every day! haha. I know I am not a lone.
But for Ty and I this is new stage in life. First part of our marriage I didn't work. Ty worked and was in school. Then we moved and I was working and then Ty was at home doing shool. Then he got a part time job and I was just working part time. So we spent a lot of time together. It was nice and we work very well together when we spend a lot of time togther. So then last week I started working 5 days a week, and Ty was working 4 or so days a week. AnYwAyS- Long stupid story...short. I was feeling overwhelmed and was bottling it all up. Frustraited over stupid little things and I was moody and PMS'ing. To say the least. I was chatting with my sister and kinda telling her (not everything cause it's not everyones business, lol) but she said that it was just a new stage in marriage and evreyone goes through similar stages. I was feeling bad because I hadn't ever been so frustraited with things like that before. SO- I was walking by our bookshelf the other day and I Ty has our books arranged by Topic. So I just happend to glance at the "marriage" section and we have a few we had gotten for our wedding and such. So this one caught my eye. "Strangling Your Husband Is NOT an Option" and I remember getting it and kinda thinking "Great people already think were going to have problems in our marriage" haha. lol So that day it kept coming to mind. So the next day I finally picked it up one morning after Ty had left for work AND I didn't want to put it down! It is a GREAT book! It's not what you think it would be. It goes through duties as a wife and how to better ourselves and overall goal is improving your marriage. But I really like it cause it takes it from the Prophets point of views. It's not sitting there telling you to do this and do that and what your doing wrong. But suggests to read through the stories and serts from talks ect. and to listen to ponder and listen to the spirit on things you can do for your situation. One thing I really like that it hit upon was not to take your spouse for granit... That after time you just go about day by day and the same thing. You need to keep working at it and do the things you did when you were dating. Keep that spark alive. Just cause your married doesn't mean you have to stop flirting and getting excited to spend time with your spouse and all. I've heard these things a lot in my life and now more than ever they ring true. Its so easy to get caught up in the day to day and taking care of kids and work and just come home and expect your spouse to just make you happy or whatever. You need to do your part too and even if your spouse isn't responsive at first if you keep doing those things they will pick up on it. It's a good book, I think every wife needs to read it! :) I love being a wife and I'm realizing that there is nothing in the world to prepare you for it! You just have to keep working at it and when you know your self isn't perfect, you can't expect your spouse to be either! But yeah anyone can bowrrow it when I'm done! lol
There is my post for the week! Hope your all doing good and enjoy your weekend! Were off to camp for the night with Kenyon and Jeannette and Karl and Kendra! Going to be fun!
