Sweet success!

"Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities."  This is from The Family, A Proclamation to the World
The apple for the day is to pick one of these areas to work on.  Think about how you can improve in this area and focus on it all of this next week.  
faith-in Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and in the Holy Ghost.  Each other.
prayer-personal and family prayer (companion prayer)
forgiveness-has something been bothering you?  work it out and let it go.
respect-are you being nice?
love-show it
compassion-ask yourself what your spouse might truly need from you.
work-is there a project you could work on together?
wholesome recreational activities-start a new tradition.  
Well, if these things are what successful marriages are based on...that is pretty sweet to have specifics to focus on!  What ides do you have?
