Weekly Recap: Without the braces

We had a busy week, but it was a lot of fun! My husband had to work last weekend, so he only came to the first part of church with us. There was a great lesson on Nurturing the Eternal Partnership of Marriage in my class, and one of the sisters mentioned something she has found that has been a huge benefit in her family. When a child gets married, she contacts both the child and their spouse when discussing something, rather than just her child. It has made a huge difference in unifying the new couple and creating a happy extended family. I thought about that and realized that I already do that in most situations (siblings, I don't have married children yet!), but I'm going to make an effort to do it always. I also thought about how it makes me feel when family and parents do that to me and how much I appreciate it. I wish that all of our extended family would do that though. The entire lesson was great, but that was one tidbit I shared with my husband after, and he agreed that it makes a huge difference.
