Aren't Marriages Full of Learning?

Good Morning, or Good Afternoon, or Good Evening,

this post should take approximately four to six minutes to read from start to finish.

Are you currently married? Are you divorced from your previous marriage? Did you learned anything new throughout your current marriage thus far? Did you learned anything from your past marriage?

It is just four days away until my husband and I reach our six months of our marriage. I remembered messaging a certain amount of friends on Facebook about how their marriages going sometime before I got married and I always got similar replies from those friends and their replies ensured me that "married life is the best, being able to live with an eternal companion is great, and so forth."

Barely no one won't ever tell you what to expect and what would you be learning throughout a marriage prior to your marriage and throughout your marriage. Sometime before I got married, I had total of three people who was willing to share with me a few things what to expect during a marriage. I'm somewhat grateful that they have shared with me those certain things with me because it has been handy and helpful throughout my marriage.

Often times, people see marriages as a massive commitment and comes with sacrifices. It is true, marriage is a massive commitment. There are multiple ways of understanding how marriage is a massive commitment. Marriage isn't certainly easy at times, marriages does comes with its own ups and downs.

Sometimes marriages comes with a lot of expectations, trying out new experiences, trying to find successful ways of keeping the marriages last a long time, full of learning, and so forth. Prior marriages comes with being physically, mentally and spiritually prepared although throughout the marriage, there are going to be times to be physically, mentally and spiritually prepared.

"The way you feel in the temple is a pattern for how you want to feel in
your life." -  Elder Neil L. Anderson.

I must say; throughout my marriage thus far, my husband and I have learned so much. We both constantly learning something new. My husband and I both remind each other at times about what makes us happy, what makes us disappointed, what makes us to feel proud, and so forth. My husband and I constantly learning what our likes and dislikes in food choices, we always do our best to satisfy with each other's efforts, we constantly give each other compliments, and so forth. 

Marriages can be a tough topic to talk about to some people. If there are certain things that you didn't get the chance to learn prior to your marriage, you may or may not feel that you would have learned lots during your marriage.

The following list is some things that you or may not learn throughout your marriage;
