LOVE!!

    As a Latter Day Saint, I rely heavily on the Spirit of Revelation to lead my life on a daily basis. As I read inspired words, they give me a sense of self fulfillment in allowing me to see the fullness of life. I love the saying which states very candidly, "People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care." With that being said, some may ask, "Well that is all fine and dandy and everything, but how does it really apply to the concept of marriage and family?" In writing this, I declare that in a relationship, no matter if it is a relationship with your spouse, or a bond with a child, we unflinchingly have to be the example in showing our love to them, for them to really allow for the full effect of our righteous lives to shine in their lives. If we want happiness in this life, then we have to be the leader, in our own way, to show them true and abiding love. There will be many opportunities to teach those in our families, but unless we first show an undivided interest in them, or an absolute sense of gratitude for them, then no profound impact from us will be radiated, to its fullness. It comes back to the whole concept of how "Actions Speak Louder Than Words." Love itself is not just a  warm fuzzy feeling that comes when two like each other, nor is it just a feeling of peace and serenity in a union. If you love someone, then you are going to put that concept into action. You are going to give graciously to those when they are in need and succor them when they feel down. Love is a life that is charitable and it testifies that as one gives more than they receive, then there is promised joy that is eminent to be.
