Week 6

When engaged and getting ready for the wedding day or even when dating I think that it is important to talk about what you plan on doing about certain roles. For example you need to talk about who will lead family scripture study and prayer if you decide on doing that. Other things for the wedding like how much to spend, and who pays are other things that need to be decided early on in the engagement. Another thing, find out how they sleep. There were a lot of things that we talked about in class that I never even thought about, but I know that if I just did my thing not knowing how it affected my spouse, that I would feel terrible finding out that it hurt him. I would never want to hurt my spouse. Budget, budgeting is another important thing that should be talked about and who spends what money, or if you combine accounts and share. My parents' accounts were combined, and every time we went shopping with mom for things that we needed dad would scowl. Yet mom let him buy all the junk that he wanted at yard sales that would fill our back yard and it would turn into a junk hole. There were some things that were useful, but at least half the time we asked where he wanted it and every time his response would be "in the backyard". I love my dad, and I love my mom. Some of the things though, I just didn't understand. It comes down to need and want. To my dad it was that is super cheap!, you can't get one of these for that price very often. (I think that's where I get it from) And he also says, I could use that down the road, so I guess he's pretty smart. In my future marriage, this is one of the things that will definitely get discussed because I want to be able to play in the backyard with my children without having to move everything out of the way before we can do so. There are so many things I learn in this class, and I love it!
