“To appreciate—to say ‘I love you’ and ‘thank you’—is not
difficult. But these expressions of love and appreciation do more than
acknowledge a kind thought or deed. They are signs of sweet civility. As
grateful partners look for the good in each other and sincerely pay compliments
to one another, wives and husbands will strive to become the persons described
in those compliments. Good communication includes taking time to plan together.
Couples need private time to observe, to talk, and really listen to each other.
They need to cooperate—helping each other as equal partners. They need to
nurture their spiritual as well as physical intimacy. They should strive to
elevate and motivate each other. Marital unity is sustained when goals are
mutually understood.” – Russell M. Nelson
