This week we talked about the adjustments a couple will go through during the first years of marriage. One of them was having to set boundaries with parents. After you get married you have created a family of your own, even though you might not be used to doing things without your parents, it is important to do things as a couple on your own. As you do this it will help you and your parents to adjust to the fact that you have started out on your own, and you need to do things as husband and wife now.
Another thing we need to discuss as a couple both before and after marriage, is our expectations for each other; they should be realistic and address the needs of both husband and wife. These things could be who will do the dishes, who will do the grocery shopping, who will do the housework, and a multitude of other little things need to be decided upon.
There were many other things we talked about in class, such as, starting a family, holidays, finances, and rules. I really enjoyed the insights from my classmates, the reading, and also from my teacher. It is wonderful to come to class and feel the Spirit as we talk about these subjects, especially truths concerning the family. I am looking forward to learning more things that will help me to be better prepared for the family I will have in the future.
