Companionships and Marriage

Today President Turk and I taught a marriage workshop in Paijan. It was sweet. We used the analogy of our missionaries as part of the presentation. We told the married couples that we can take two young men that have never met each other and put them together...
...they are usually different in every single way, different nationalities, different cultures, different languages, different skills and education, different skin color...
and of course they come with their own strange habits and distinct traits..
But give them unity in purpose and the gospel principles,
and by preparing spiritually like our missionaries do every day.... Scriptures, Prayer, Applying Christlike attributes... You can love each other, serve each other and live with each other in perfect Harmony, Happiness and Pure Joy.
The secret to great relationships is to make Christ the center.
These two Elders love each other like Brothers.... One is from Chile and the other from the US. This is what the Gospel teachings give to us... a powerful Perspective of why we are here, who we are and what we should be doing to get to where we want to go... Home to live with our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ...
...As a Family
