I obviously
can't say too many negative things about marriage blog posts, because here I am
writing one. I have noticed at least 90% more blog articles that say
"Marriage Isn't For You" or "Why I'm Happy I Married Young"
showing up on my Facebook feed. I've read them, and they are entertaining.
Dallin would always say "I hate those, their only half truths". After
we talked about it my eyes were opened to what was going on around me. All
these people are grasping for truth. They want to know that someone else out
there get's what they are going through, that's what I was doing too, but at
the same time all of these bloggers are missing the bulls eye. They are saying
things maybe to express themselves, maybe to get more readers, maybe to shock
and awe. What they don't get is that all of these "clever
revelations" are already written out, and with more truth.... in the
scriptures. Wah wah wah don't stop reading because you automatically tune out
when you hear "religion". Not every one understands the scriptures
but take it bit by bit and you can find all the truths people seek after. The
scriptures are hitting these "clever blog revelations" right on the
nail, but everyone is avoiding them because religion is taboo on social media.
Well I say enough is enough. I'm calling bloggers out. Everyone is acting like
prophets and coming up with these great ideas when the basic's that they are
trying to explain are already revealed in the scriptures. So, here is my plea.
Enough of your "Clever Titles" what are you really trying to say?
When you find out, find the direction that God wants you to take on the topic
through reading the scriptures. Some of these scriptures may seem like a
stretch, but look at the principles of why we are drawn to these articles. It
is the truth that is in them. Here are
some examples:

Marriage Isn't For You
Scripture:
Galations
5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for
an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit,
and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other:
so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, longsuffering,gentleness, goodness, faith
Why should
we just treat our spouses like this? We shouldn't. Treat everyone with the love
of Christ and your life will be open to God's love and the Spirit.
Scripture:
Alma 37: 35 O, remember, my son, and learn
wisdom in thy youth; yea, learn in thy youth to keep the commandments of God.
36 Yea, and cry unto God for all thy support;
yea, let all thy doings be unto the Lord, and whithersoever thou goest let it
be in the Lord; yea, let all thy thoughts be directed unto the Lord; yea, let
the affections of thy heart be placed upon the Lord forever.
37 Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings,
and he will direct thee for good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down
unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest
in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these
things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day.
You can do
anything with God, including marriage.
Blog: Stop the Mommy Wars
Scripture:
Moses 7:18
And the Lord called his people Zion, because they were of oneheart and one
mind, and dwelt in righteousness; and there was no poor among them.
I rest my
case.
