Week Five

As a married woman, it was really interesting to hear everyone else's opinions on marriage. I really liked the reading "Hangout Out, Hooking Up and Celestial Marriage" because it shed some light on what the differences are between just hanging out, dating, and marriage. When we talked in class about expectations of a husband or wife, I thought it was interesting on what some people said. I liked how a lot of people focused on how we should be changing ourselves as opposed to trying to change the person we are dating. Also, how we marry who we date, and therefor we should be really careful about the people we select to date.

The application to married people this week in my opinion came when we talked about how you should treat people of the opposite sex in all situations, especially in dating. I think that as someone who is already married, it is important to remember to treat your spouse the same positive way you did when you were dating. When dating, it seems as thought you treat each other wonderfully because you are smitten with each other. Sometimes that fades a bit and when you're married you fall into the habit of trying to correct your spouse all the time. It think that its important for me to remember to love and treat my husband as if we were still dating.
