Christ in My Marriage W7

President Howard W Hunter taught us that "whatever Jesus lays his hands upon lives. If Jesus lays his hands upon a marriage, it lives. If he is allowed to lay his hands on the family, it lives." P.52

I have seen this in my life. When Christ's teachings were being followed in our household and marriage it is so much more peaceful and joyful. When we are not making use of Christ and his atonement we have a harder time getting along. We see and feel differently toward one another. When my husband was living a life of lies and sin he was abusive. He was driving me away and we almost divorced. I decided to change my life around and get help. Once I started putting God first again he decided in order to keep me he had to make a huge change too. He worked hard and repented. He is not perfect but were it not for the atonement and saving grace of our savior we would not be together this day. We have to continue to maintain Christ in our hearts and household to keep those changes
positive ones.
