I'm not sure about anyone else, but this weeks freaked me out just a little bit!
A couple of the questions that were asked this week were: Does the proposal matter? Does the wedding matter? Should a man ask for permission to marry the daughter?
I'm going to go ahead and say the answer to all of these is YES. The proposal can give you an idea of whether you future spouse can plan and bring excitement to your marriage. The wedding matters because it matter where it takes place. The temple is my goal and I need to look for someone who has that same goal. I think the wedding planning also can have a part in this because weddings are very stressful and it can bring you closer together and you get to work side by side in creating something that hopefully you will both enjoy and love. And the final yes, yes a man should ask for permission to marry one's daughter. I do feel bad for them because I can't imagine how scary that would be. But I know that when I have daughters of my own, I want to be one hundred percent sure that the guy who wants to marry her is a respectable person and will take care of her.
The other subject we talked about this week was the Baby Blues. Those are what freak me out! When we saw the graph that marital satisfaction goes down with each child that comes into the family. This is because the wife/mother becomes preoccupied and communication levels go down. By keeping the dad involved in the entire baby process, starting with the ultra sounds and baby kicking. The baby is not mine or yours but always OURS.
Yes, it's scary but I'm sure it will be worth it one day!
