Consecrating our marriage

I really enjoyed relearning the story of King Lamoni and seeing how we can apply that to our marriage relationship. When brought to repentance, King Lamoni covenants to give away all of his sins to know God. He sees that there needs to be a full change of his heart, and in his life, in order to be in a good place. At this point King Lamoni is willing to turn his life over to his Heavenly Father by making every sacrifice necessary. In marriage are often brought to a point where we need to make a decision to repent and turn away from the pride and resentment we might have for our spouse or hold onto it. When we are willing to let go of our unrighteous judgements our marriage will flourish. Too often I get annoyed by my husband and his habits that can get under my skin. There have been times when I have to walk away before I get too angry. At this point of our marriage I watch him do the things that annoy me and think to myself how blessed I am to have him in my life. I laugh a little to myself about how silly those things are and how I use to be overtaken by my annoyances. I am so thankful for modern day prophets that teach us to be kind and especially forgiving.
