My husband and I find ourselves not able to finish some conversations because our children are around. This is when a couple council would benefit us. We can take time to come back together and take time to give the issue or conversation the attention it needs.
Elder Ballard in his "Counseling With Your Councils" excerpt we read this week he gave very important instructions in how to hold councils and these should apply to couples. We should have an agenda. Even if its just a verbal one. Just express what each want to discuss and give each others concerns the attention they should get. Praying is always a must. When you ask the spirit to dwell wihtin your meeting you may feel peace and comfort as you discuss topics that may be difficult to dicuss with the person you love the most.
When in a relationship communication is very important. Being able to respect what each other is saying and have to say is a must. When we are united together we do not fall. My husband and mine's favorite movie is "The Break up" and our favorite scene is when the girl in the relationship asked for lemons and her boyfriend only brought back 3 yet she asked for 12. He tried to make her think that 3 were ok but she was trying to prove a point that she asked for 12 she needed 12 for her centerpiece. We laugh at this scene because he was being selfish and was in a hurry and didn't think about her wants. We know refer to this scene if we are in a "tiff" or need a goo laugh because laughter is great. I always reply to him if we have a disagreement "baby wanted 12 lemons" and that can stop our anger and make us smile! It's great to have a fall back on to refocus our love.
