Create an atmosphere for the Spirit. The Spirit must be present.

Express gratitude for what your spouse does for you. Express that love and gratitude often.

Set aside those things that don't really matter and do something with eternal consequences.

The joyful news for anyone who desires to be rid of the consequences of past poor choices is that the Lord sees weaknesses differently than He does rebellion. Whereas the Lord warns that unrepented rebellion will bring punishment, when the Lord speaks of weaknesses, it is always with mercy.

A tranquil conscience invites freedom from anguish, sorrow, guilt, shame, and self-condemnation. It provides a foundation for happiness. It is a condition of immense worth.

Choosing to do what the Lord has defined as right will, in the long run, always lead to the best outcomes.

Conversion is a very, very important part of what you are doing. We will have a responsibility to report to Heavenly Father regarding those we bring into the Church.
