Prayer

“I give counsel to husbands and wives. Pray for the love which allows you to see the good in your companion. Pray for the love that makes weaknesses and mistakes seem small. Pray for the love to make your companion’s joy your own. Pray for the love to want to lessen the load and soften the sorrows of your companion.”
Henry B. Eyring, “Our Perfect Example,” Ensign, Nov. 2009, 71

I don't have a husband yet, but I do know that this works for all of us. As we pray to understand and love those around us, our family, friends and those with whom we have a harder time with the Lord will bless us to see them in His eyes - not ours. I have put this to the test many times in the past and never been disappointed in the results - the Lord wants us to love one another, serve one another and help lift each other - but often I have found that I have to be humble enough to ask to be able to do that as effectively as I would like.
